Gratitude fund aids Nebraska teen entering university
A 16 year old Roy Blunt of near Springfield Nebraska will enter the University of Nebraska engineering program with aid from a state gratitude fund established after his father died during a 1912 prison break. The fund helped educate the boy born after the incident and the tale links a father’s death to state support for his son.
