On Wednesday evening July 28th Strojan and Holly Kennison and Shannon and Don Cooper put on a Memorial service for the late Christan Dowling and a number of guest speakers told great stories and shared memories of her.  They also raised 10's of thousands of dollars for a scholarship charity called Hanks' Herds which will annually give college scholarships to young women that play softball.
