A memorial plaque was
presented to the school in honor of George M. Floyd. George Floyd was a graduate
of the class of 1944. He died in Oct. 2000 and his daughter and son in law
John and Diann Boehm have been giving a scholarship and trees to the school
ever since. CHS Baseball Coach Tony Reeder was honored (Jan. 9th, 2007) along
with past teachers, and future teachers Of Collinsville High School for their
work and dedication to the students and town of Collinsville.
Diann is an educator and has traveled all over the world. She says outside
of her brothers who also coach that she has never seen such a hard working
dedicated coach. My dad would have enjoyed knowing him. Collinsville, Oklahoma's
ballpark is something to be proud of. That says a lot from a Texas girl where
sports and Texas are one and the same.
George Floyd would be proud to be honored at his high school. He is a WWII
vet, a father of six and has twelve grand children and two great grand children.
Though he moved to Texas there is still no place like home. He has fond memories
of his friends and family of Collinsville and Owasso Oklahoma.
Diann and John will be giving another scholarship in her father's memory to a senior of fine arts this spring. If you are interested in learning how you can apply for the George M. Floyd Memorial Scholarship contact your counselor
