Perry owned Perrys floral shop in Perham for many years. He contributed $50,000 to the Perhams Scholarship program. The money is in the Dollars For Scholars account, and awards will be determined by a committee of vocational instructors. The money will be dispersed over a period of 15 years to students planning to attend a two-year college.
Achieving the Leadership honor is Charlie Fleck, coach of Perhams state champion gymnastics team.
