The 2008 Wayne Kennemer Memorial Scholarship has been awarded to Steven Toler, a May 2008 graduate of Ingram Tom Moore High School ... details


Steven Kincaid of Topsfield, MA recently emailed us about his late father’s love of country music. His father, William C. Kincaid, was a big fan of Bob Wills, “The King of Western Swing.” And each year, on or around his late father’s April 11 birthday, Steve tries to make a donation specifically to country and western non-profit organizations promoting the music of Bob Wills. This year, Steven honored the memory of his late father by donating $100 to THMF. Thank you, Steven, your father’s memory lives on in the music of Bob Wills and in the programming we produce for the community each year.
