The Hendrick Scholarship Foundation was created in 1991 to honor the 30-year tenure of H. Wayne Hendrick when he retired as superintendent of Plano schools. Hendrick, who celebrated his 90th birthday in June, will receive a special tribute this week from Lucy Berroteran of Honor Flight DFW honoring his WWII service that began with the Normandy Invasion.
Nefarious characters
Heritage Farmstead will host its annual evening of Murder and Mayhem, showcasing the nefarious characters involved in true crimes of Collin County on Oct. 24 at the Farmstead.
Moonlight and lanterns will light the way between spooky locales where Plano ISD drama instructors and students will tell tales of infamous crimes and notorious characters including Bonnie and Clyde, aliens in East Texas and, the piece de resistance, the trial of Hunter Farrell, the original owner of Heritage Farmstead. Call 972-881-0140 to reserve the $20 tickets.
The Farmstead will pay tribute to the women of farm life through Nov. 9 with the exhibits “Woman’s Work is Never Done” and “Rural Texas Women at Work.”
