Their gift of education is a huge inspiration to give something back to the community

Here's a heartwarming story in The Weekly Challenger about a lady in our community, Tamika Davis (in the picture), who is a single mom with a special needs child, and is being helped to pursue her education by a timely scholarship given in the name of a graduate of Eckerd College and the University of South Florida. Betty J. Gaston, for many years a librarian at St. Petersburg College, has established an endowed nursing scholarship in her name.  She and her sisters also established a scholarship endowment in the name of their parents, who never had the opportunity to get a college education but recognized the value of education and saw to it that their children did go to college. The Gaston family's commitment to giving back to the community is an inspiration to all.
