About the Sponsor
In 1988 the Worthington family established a scholarship in Rich Jr.’s memory to go to a Bothell grad who exemplified good citizenship, good attendance and above all commendable service to school and community. Richard Jr. was a graduate of Bothell High School in 1964 and attended Washington State University before enlisting in the Army to fly helicopter combat missions in Vietnam. On his second tour of duty in the Vietnam War, Rich's helicopter was shot down while on a rescue mission and Rich and his crew were killed. At the time of his death, Rich Jr. had attained the rank of chief warrant officer.
His grandfather founded the Bothell State Bank and Rich Sr. operated Worthington Insurance Agency in Bothell for many years. The Worthington Family Foundation has made generous contributions to scholarship programs not only at Bothell High School but at the University of Washington, including the branch facility in Bothell.
