deserve to have the money."

the 1999 recipient, and the first to
be awarded the Cheek scholarship.
The UGA spokesman said Cheek
epitomizes the word "educator”. He
has spent his entire life serving as

money to make dreams materialize.
Cheek, bom in Hart County in
1916, was one of 10 children. He
worked his way through Middle
Georgia College and the University
of Georgia. He received his Voca
tional Agriculture degree in 1937.
He received his master's from UGA
in 1951 and a school administra
tors certificate in 1968.
The UGA spokesman said Cheek
was a World War II Air Force veter
an. He served 29 years on active
duty and in the Reserves. He was a
B-29 flight officer.
As a vocational agriculture
teacher from 1937 to 1974, he
molded the lives of many students.
He taught vocational agriculture in
Baker, Early and Houston counties.
