Easton Block Watch Announces Scholarship to Honor Memory of Late District Magistrate



Gay Elwell

 Each year an Easton Area High School senior will be awarded a $500 college scholarship in memory of the late District Magistrate Gay Elwell, the Easton Block Watch Association announced at their quarterly meeting Wednesday evening.

The scholarship will focus on students who are working towards a career in the legal or criminal justice sector, the group added, noting that Elwell was a longtime advocate for Block Watch.

The full details and description of the new award are expected to be released at the association's June quarterly meeting.

Elwell passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in December 2012, of natural causes.
