Bob Doan Memorial Scholarship – District 21<\/strong><\/p>

Bob Doan, otherwise known as \u201cThe Wizard \u201c had a passion for his trade. He was a success out of St. James Trade School in Springfield, IL in the mid-1950\u2019s. He was a father figure to many over the years and took every opportunity to mentor as a family man and businessman. His greatest passion was mentoring young welders. His legacy includes owning Flange Wizard for 40 years (a leader in welding equipment) and earned him the nickname of \u201cthe Wizard ” based on the fact he patented over fifty tools for the welding industry. Bob Doan was a larger than life personality. If you knew him, you knew this to be true.\u00a0 At his core he lived the American dream, a man who came from a humble background, built a successful business but never lost sight of the important things in life: faith, family and friends. He was generous to a fault and downright unassuming and funny.<\/p>

The Bob Doan Memorial Scholarship is for students in a welding or closely related program from the AWS LA\/Inland Empire Section or AWS Long Beach\/Orange County Section.\u00a0 Applicant must be a U.S. citizen.\u00a0 Preference will be shown for students with a career objective in the pipeline field.<\/p>
