“We appreciate the generosity of all those who have made donations to the University of the Aftermarket Foundation in my father’s name through the years. Their kindness has helped make these annual scholarships possible,” continued Fisher. ”We thank the foundation for their work to ensure that hundreds of aftermarket scholarships and industry educational opportunities are available to well-deserving men and women.”
