Travis Schoenbeck Memorial Scholarship
Travis William Schoenbeck, born March 4, 1975, was the grandson of Walter Schoenbeck, a deceased member of American Legion Post 75. Travis graduated from Fox High School in St. Louis, Missouri, and his ambition was to earn a college degree in business management. He tragically died as the result of an automobile accident on September 10, 1995.
