In the summer of 2007 the Board of Directors established an award to honor and in memory of one of FENA’s founding members, Clarence Carhill. Clarence died on April 11, 2002, just 9 months after helping to found FENA. His untimely death kept him from seeing how his dream of a Ferguson club has grown from approximately 25 members to nearly 1100 members. In the photo you see Clarence with his son Gary and his two grandchildren, at the 1999 pre-FENA gathering in Freeport, IL.
