V. Francis and Susan S. Reynolds Scholarship

The V.F. and Susan S. Reynolds Scholarship was established in 2007 by their five children, all Waynesboro High School graduates. Mr. Reynolds served with the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II, retiring with the rank of Ensign, and began his career in order to provide for his growing family. An avid reader, he published one book The Long Shadow of Memory in 1967. Mrs. Reynolds grew up in Waynesboro and was a teacher for 27 years in the Waynesboro Public School system. She taught music, physical education, and English. “V” and Susan Reynolds were active members of their church and volunteered in the community, working with youth and serving in leadership positions in local and civic organizations.
