Julia Zaluzny was my grandmother, who passed away in the summer of 2005. She was very instrumental in my (and my brother's) education, from asking us to read our bedtime stories to her to contributing to our college tuition. She recognized the crucial role that education would play in our lives, and her perseverance and support let us know that she believed in us and wanted nothing but the best for us. It is in the memory of her dedication on my behalf that our foundation is named for her.
