04/25/2010	This is a note to Brenda Breth and her Townsend Children (Committee). We find it rather humiliating to have such a wreck occur in the selection process for the Townsend Scholarship. Although we don't know all students personally, it appears to us that several deserving students were passed over. What we found disturbing is that the selection criteria that is listed on the school webpage was not followed to make this year's selections. Get your act together and correct the process for next year or update the criteria to include favoritism as the #1 criteria as it seems that's all that was used this year. -DCHS Class of 1957	Concerned Citizens Oberlin, KS DCHS Class of 1957
