	Robert Rigg The Rigg/Logue Scholarship Endowment is established by Mr. Robert Rigg in memory of Glen William Rigg and Samuel Carver Logue and their families. Samuel Carver Logue was born on December 31, 1914. Growing up in a farming community in central Illinois, he attended elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse and high school in Auburn, Illinois. An exceptional student, he attended the Tennessee Polytechnic Institute participating in the physics club. He received a Bachelor's Degree in mathematics in 1935. He returned to teach high school in Chatham, Illinois. After America's entry into World War II, he joined the armed forces serving as an ensign on the U.S.S. Leapold. Sam was killed in action when the Leapold was sunk in the Atlantic. His dream to pursue an advanced degree in mathematics and to continue teaching went unrealized. Glenn William Rigg was born on July 8, 1910. He was one of nine children. At the age of sixteen he quit school, after the death of his father, in order to care for his mother and his siblings. He worked as a laborer for the Peabody Mining Company caring for the family until the other children left home. He met and subsequently married Johnnie Louise Logue and through her became great friends of Samuel Carver Logue, her brother. Glenn enlisted in the United States Navy on March 9, 1944, the day his brother-in-law was killed. He served as a seaman in the Pacific on a destroyer escort, the U.S.S. Swearer. While on the Swearer he was part of the Philippine Campaign as well as the Iwo Jima and Okinawa Operations. Glenn dreamed of completing his high school education and perhaps even attending college through the encouragement of his friend and brother-in-law, Sam Logue, prior to Sam's death. This hope was further fostered when Glenn was sent to a special training camp operated by the Navy at the University of Minnesota. After the war and the death of his friend Sam, Glenn returned to work on the Logue farm in central Illinois. His hopes were that his children would reach higher educational goals than he had attained. He died on April 15, 1968; those hopes, as yet, unrealized. This scholarship is dedicated to these very different men who became great friends and to the students, unknown to these men, whose hopes and dreams will be realized through this scholarship. For Sam & Glenn.
