On April 10, Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club Texas Chapter 48 awarded two $1,000 scholarships to cadets in the Victoria college Police Academy. Shown receiving the scholarships are Cadet Kenneth Wilson and Cadet Isabella Martinez. Making the presentation is Shelly Jones, widow of Cuero Police Officer Sam Jones for whom the scholarship fund is named. The Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club is a non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and retired law enforcement officers who enjoy riding motorcycles. In the spring of 1974, several law enforcement officers from the Bangor, Maine (USA) area met and formed a small, local motorcycle club. Soon, Blue Knight chapters were formed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and beyond. With the addition of Canada, and later Australia, the Blue Knights became an international organization with additional chapters in Great Britain, Germany and throughout Europe.
