The American Concrete Pumping Association is proud to present the 2024 recipients of the Bob Weatherton Scholarship: Leighton Landreth, Isabella Guerini and Katie Glasco. These students embody the leadership and spirit that is integral to the legacy of the late “Big Bob” Weatherton of The Concrete Pump Store in California. Bob served on the ACPA board of directors for more than 40 years and was one of the industry’s most avid champions.
Dale Bone, Sr., a pioneer in the concrete industry and co-founder of Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping was a dedicated advocate of the industry and a long-serving ACPA Board Member. In his honor, the Bone family established a one-time scholarship fund using the generous contributions made in his memory. This scholarship will support future generations while preserving Dale’s enduring legacy.
