Funds set up in honor of crash victims

The Daily Inter Lake

Special funds have been set up in remembrance of both Daily Inter Lake reporters who were killed Sunday in a plane crash near Dixon.

Melissa Weaver’s former classmates at the University of Montana, led by Montana Kaimin editor Sean Breslin, have established a scholarship fund in her name.

Donations can be sent to: University of Montana Foundation, P.O. Box 7159, Missoula, MT 59807, or donations can be made online at http://www.supportum.org.

Friends of Erika Hoefer’s family in Wisconsin have set up a fund at the Municipal Credit Union in Beloit, Wis.

Donations can be made out to the Hoefer Family Fund and mailed to Municipal Credit Union, Attn: Peggy, 1154 Cranston Rd., Beloit, WI 53511.

The family of Sonny Kless, who also died in Sunday’s crash, has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to Lake County or Sanders County search and rescue or the Student Pilots Scholarship Fund, Glacier Bank, Kalispell.

Kless, 25, attended school in Bigfork and Kalispell before graduating from the University of Montana this spring.

A gathering to remember him will be 2 p.m. today at Best View Storage on Columbia Falls Stage Road.
