Lloyd and Norma Hostettler started dating as seniors while attending Ashland High School. After they both graduated from college in 1951, and while Lloyd was serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, they were married. Their first child, Keith, was born in the naval hospital in Camp Lejeune, N.C. Seventeen years later Keith died. A memorial scholarship fund was set up in Keith’s memory. To insure the perpetual management of this fund, it was transferred to the Ashland County Community Foundation.

The Wygants state, “The Ashland County Community Foundation is the ideal organization to administrate this fund as it has an established committee to select the yearly recipient of the scholarship, insures continuation of the fund in the future and provides an easy way to add to the fund upon our death. We have also chosen the Foundation to manage our other legacy bequest because it is possible to have instruction in place as to how these bequests are to be managed and dispensed without the need for court cost or legal fees.”
