About the Sponsor
The scholarship was first established in memory of float plane aviation pioneer Bob Munro, founder in 1946 and operator of Kenmore Air Harbor at the north end of Lake Washington. Northshore and Woodinville Rotary clubs contributed to the endowment along with family and a legion of friends. Bob Munro, a native of Seattle, established the seaplane business after World War II. He was a charter member and past president of Northshore Rotary. He was one of nine Northshore Rotarians to organize the scholarship Foundation in 1984 "His unwavering sense of honesty and integrity in business made him one of the most respected figures in the aviation industry." Ruth Munro died in 2003. The Munros devoted much of their lives to the seaplane world, maintaining their residence directly next door to the seaplane port. Their grandson Todd Banks, presently is active in the operating management of the business along with the Munro daughter Leslie Banks and son Gregg Munro. In 2015, Gregg was named to the Northshore School District "Wall of Honor" for his humanitarian service.
