Lane Memorial Scholarship

VogalAs a special tribute to Andrew Lane, the Andrew Lane Memorial Scholarship Endowment for Hospitality and Tourism Management has been created by Andrew’s friends and family. Andrew, a junior at Appalachian State University who died in a car wreck March 16, 2005 in Boone, was the son of Mrs. Sylvia Oberle and Mr. Michael Lane. He grew up in Winston-Salem and graduated from Reynolds High School in 2002.

At the time of his death, Andrew was pursuing his dream of becoming a chef and professional caterer, with a major in Hospitality and Tourism Management. Andrew’s passion for the hospitality industry began at the Golden Apple in Winston-Salem. Andrew began working at the Golden Apple while in high school and continued to work here during his breaks from college. While at Appalachian, Andrew began working for Mr. Buddy Fore at Grouse Moor Catering and developed many good friends while working with Buddy.

When Andrew described his budding career interest to his parents, he talked about his delight at seeing people enjoy food that he had cooked and prepared and he was looking forward to furthering his education in the culinary arts after graduation.

Endowing a scholarship in memory of Andrew is a very special way to honor him and to enable future generations of Appalachian students majoring in Hospitality and Tourism Management to live out Andrew’s dream.
