This award was originally established by friends of Dick at the Southern New England Farrier Association in 1987 in memory of the many years that he served the association, farms, and horse owners locally and across the country. Dick was a fifth-generation farrier/blacksmith, an expert in the area of corrective horse shoeing, traveling all over New England and across the country to assist horse owners with difficult equine hoof issues.  Dick was a resident of Lexington, and on many a day you could hear the sounds of “metal on metal” as the shoes were taken out of the forge and shaped into corrective shoes on the anvil in the driveway of his Lexington home.  He was called a “gentle giant” by many as he had a way about him with people and animals, a “Horse Whisperer” before “whisperers” were even thought about for reality TV.  The Dick Ham Memorial Award will be awarded to a graduating Minuteman student following a dream to work in the trades and who has an entrepreneurial spirit.

Scott Pisano graduated from Minuteman in 2001.  He studied auto mechanics, but his true love was in horticulture and landscaping.  Scott loved the outdoors.  He liked learning about different plants and every year he would plant his own vegetable garden.  During high school, Scott started working at Nardone Landscaping in Lexington.  He instantly fell in love with the job.  He loved everything there was about being a landscaper, including mowing the grass, planting flowers, fall clean ups, and especially plowing snow in the winter.  There was never a day that Scott did not want to go to work. Scott remained employed as a landscaper with Nardone Landscaping until the day he died.  Scott’s life ended unexpectedly on June 17, 2016.  He was 33 years old.  Scott’s family would like to congratulate the recipient of this scholarship and hope that you can carry on Scott’s passion for horticulture and landscaping as he would be doing if he were still with us today.
