COL JOHN P. STORZ, DMD, \u201974<\/strong> [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n John Storz values the freedom he had at the URochester to delve into many interests and cultivate a spirit of exploration. \u201cMy education offered me infinite possibilities,\u201d he says. Instead of rigidity in the curriculum, he found that the focus on learning to think through problems ended up being an excellent foundation for his future work.<\/p>\n John went on to attend dental school and began his career in the military. He served in the Army for thirty years and had many assignments, including Washington, D.C., where he eventually settled with his husband, Del. Given their strong belief in the value of education, John and Del wanted to establish a scholarship for first-generation students. They discovered that setting up a gift annuity was the most suitable way to go about it\u2014it provides a guaranteed income for life. Now, John hopes others will join him in making a legacy gift that will have meaningful and long-lasting impact.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”119″ image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”75″ image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1607969725692{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”22212″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” mkd_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1742239309994{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text] COL JOHN P.
