Honoring a Staples Player

At the Staples Tuition Grants award ceremony tonight, Ann Sheffer, Staples class of 1966, presented the Doug Sheffer Memorial Award to Staples senior Jack Baylis, who will study musical theater at Point Park University, Pittsburgh. The award is named for the 1968 Staples graduate who died in January 2014 in a Colorado helicopter crash at age 63. Sheffer said her brother held a backstage role with Staples Players and the family requested that the recipient of the grant be one who had a similar role at Staples.
