Norman Wilensky Scholarship
Norman Wilensky was a dedicated husband, father and friend to many, with his focus towards the needs of others. He carried his love of family and friends to his love of sports. He was a loyal person, and this attribute was evident in his commitment to racquetball. He enjoyed playing for over 30 years of his life. Norm played six days a week, and was never tired of the game. Every day was a new beginning, every game starting from a level playing field. Norm died suddenly at the age of 62. Norman Wilensky will never be forgotten, and his memory will carry on through young collegiate students who have strong values such as his.
The seven voting members of the Norman Wilensky Scholarship Council will be:
