Dreams can come true

What has the Chips Quinn Scholars Program meant to this old dog?

It has reaffirmed my faith in the goodness of the human spirit.

It has proven that people -- regardless of color -- want the same thing: A chance to show what they can do.

It has proven that a young newspaperman's dream of diversity could come true.

It has burned the name of Chips Quinn into the memories of more than 1,000 young men and women.

It has made journalism across the nation better because Chips and his mother, Loie, passed our way.

God rest their souls.

-- With admiration, Dick Thien
