We wish Kori and Timothy the best as they begin their collegiate careers.”
“It is an honor to present this year’s scholarship to Kori and Timothy,” said Victor Yohey, president of the Storey County Professional Fire Fighters. “The Storey County Professional Fire Fighters have awarded this scholarship for more than ten years, recognizing many incredible students.
