Applications\u00a0are now being accepted<\/a> from New Milford High School students for the 2022 Henry B. \u201cHank\u201d Anderson Memorial Scholarship.<\/p>\n

Cramer & Anderson<\/a>, with a flagship office in New Milford, awards two scholarships of $500 each to graduating students.<\/p>\n

The firm created the scholarship initiative in 2020 to honor the firm\u2019s Founding Partner, who\u00a0died in June 2019<\/a>\u00a0at age 101.<\/p>\n

The process requires students to submit a scholarship application and copy of their transcript, and write an essay on the topic: \u201cDescribe areas in your life where you demonstrated leadership attributes to overcome one or more obstacles experienced in school, the community or family life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response to the scholarships has been tremendous,\u201d said Partner Jennifer Collins<\/a>, who administers the initiative. \u201cWe\u2019re inspired every day by Hank Anderson\u2019s life, accomplishments, and legacy. Lifelong learning was a passion for him and we know he would be proud the firm is assisting students in their academic journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hank Anderson died at age 101\u00a0<\/a>on\u00a0June 22, 2019, at home in Brewster, Mass., where he lived with his wife \u201cBunny\u201d (Theresa Virginia).<\/p>\n

A proud graduate of Wesleyan University and the University of Connecticut School of Law, he was a decorated Navy veteran who survived kamikaze attacks on two ships during World War II. The first was an attack by two kamikaze pilots on the USS Bunker Hill on May 11, 1945, as it supported the attack on Okinawa. Nearly 400 sailors were killed. The second came only days later, when the USS Enterprise was attacked by a kamikaze pilot, killing 14.<\/p>\n

Following the war, and after finishing his master\u2019s and law degrees\u2014graduating from Wesleyan and UConn on the same day\u2014Anderson came to western Connecticut to live and work, joining the firm of Attorney Harry Bradbury before partnering with Attorney Francis S. Ferriss to form the firm Ferriss and Anderson.<\/p>\n

After Attorney Ferriss died in 1957, Anderson and his friend Attorney\u00a0Paul B. Altermatt<\/a>\u00a0formed Anderson and Altermatt. In 1962, they joined their firm with Cramer, Blick, Fitzgerald & Hume to create Cramer & Anderson, which was originally based in New Milford and Litchfield and has grown to include six offices in western Connecticut.<\/p>\n

Among his many state and national roles, Anderson served as president of the Litchfield County Bar Association, and was a Fellow of the Connecticut Bar Association and American Bar Association. In addition to guiding Cramer & Anderson, he helped to shape the practice of law in Connecticut and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnderson was the recipient of numerous distinguished legal awards,\u201d a\u00a0UConn Law story<\/a>\u00a0recounted. \u201cIn 1989 he was voted Citizen of the Year by the State of Connecticut Courts of Probate. In 1990, The Connecticut Bar Association awarded him the John Eldred Shields Award for his professional services to the community at large\u2014over 900 hours of pro bono services. He was also voted Probate Attorney of the Year by the Connecticut Probate Assembly.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2018, the Connecticut Law Tribune honored Anderson with a\u00a0Lifetime Achievement Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe passing of Hank Anderson was the end of an era, not only for Cramer & Anderson but for the Bar here in Connecticut,\u201d Partner Art Weinshank<\/a> said at the time of Anderson\u2019s death. \u201cHis personal accomplishments and prominence gave such stature to the firm and made us more than a local Litchfield County law firm.\u201d<\/p>\n
