Eligibility requirements for the Linda Armstrong and Charles Keppard Scholarship were chosen by Linda Armstrong in memory of her late husband Charles “Chuck” Keppard. Chuck began working as a carpenter after serving in the Navy, UDT team, for three tours in Vietnam. He later worked as a dry waller, and ultimately created his own sub-contracting construction company based in Mills County, Iowa, working for large contractors such as Kiewit and Hawkins. He built a new family home in early 2000. Three of his sons now work in the construction industry in various capacities. In his retirement, Chuck enjoyed minor remodeling projects and put his creative mind to work by making most anything from a picture and a brief conversation with Linda. He admired anyone who worked with their hands.

The Armstrong family included stone masons, brick layers, carpenters, iron workers, and general “DIY fix-it” people, dating back to Linda’s great-great-grandfather, uncles, and cousins. Linda’s grandfather laid the cornerstone of many buildings at Omaha Boys Town and worked on the twin bell towers of the beautiful St. Cecelia Cathedral when he was employed with Mainelli Construction. Linda’s brother is a finish carpenter in Colorado, designing, building, and installing custom pieces for mountain residents. He, too, built his family home in the mountains.

Of the scholarship, Linda said, “In a small way, Chuck and I wanted the future generation to know the satisfaction of seeing a finished product or building, knowing you were responsible for part or all of its creation, using your knowledge and your hands.”
