August 29, 2009, The Roanoke Times — Robert Rust needed a little financial help during the Great Depression to pay for his final two years at the Virginia Military Institute, and he got it in the form of a $300 yearly scholarship. Before his death in April, Rust decided to return the favor.
The college announced Friday that the VMI Foundation has received its largest bequest ever -- a $14 million gift from the 1934 graduate.
