Mr. Morgan will attend the University of Lynchburg. The scholarship was presented on May 16, 2019, by AGAR Board Member Linda Zabloski and Mary Lynn Brown’s grandson, Miller Brown, who graduated last year from ACHS and attends Virginia Commonwealth University. Mary Lynn Brown was a beloved Board member of AGAR and a fan of performing arts (both those produced by AGAR and those presented by ACHS) who passed away this year.
