Rinehimer Scholarship to be awarded

Beginning May 2007, the G. Jason Rinehimer Scholarship Fund will present a yearly $1000 scholarship to an Amsterdam High School graduating student in honor of G. Jason Rinehimer, AHS '87. Jason's daughter Alexandra will personally present the award to this year's recipient.

Jason attended Amsterdam High School, Fulton-Montgomery Community College and Union College. During high school he worked at Amsterdam landmark "Capie's". He was later employed by the Marriot Hotel, Kinowski Insurance Agency and Jullians in Albany, NY.

Jason's mother Cindy Kinowski Rinehimer describes him saying, "Life is about the way we live. The answer to life is how we love. Jason always lived and loved. He loved God, nature, music and people. He gave his heart and his soul to everything he did. He was blessed with amazing good looks, physical strength, exceptional academic aptitude and a divine spirit of love. Anyone who knew him would attest to this.

"Love is being patient, kind, truthful, unselfish, hopeful and enduring. It is not being jealous, boastful, arrogant, rude, selfish or angry. True love never fails (The Bible).

"Jason was a star for the Amsterdam Rams. His light will always shine."

The scholarship fund is already established, but welcomes additional contributions. Donations may be submitted to Bank of America, Amsterdam Branch, Amsterdam, New York – Bank Account number 7480.

Application are available in the AHS guidance office.
