About the Sponsor
The family of one-time Bothell mayor Charles and Gladys Kaysner established this general studies scholarship for a Bothell graduate. The “Rivergrove” was included to note the landmark location of the Kaysner grandparents’ 20-acre homestead plat in Bothell along the Sammamish River at “Wayne Curve.”. The grandparents were Alfred and Lucy Brown Schillestad. Charles Kaysner was one of many volunteer firemen and served as Bothell mayor from 1949-1964. The scholarship is also given to recognize Chuck Kaysner, a class of 1963 at Bothell High School. It was his wish that the recipient would attend Washington State University.
