On Facebook see PTA: Ian Wiles Scholarship Basket Raffle
Ian Wiles , a kind and loving individual who was a part of the 2011 BCC PTA Class. He was a talented musician, highly intelligent and had a gift for understanding health and anatomy. That gift came from unfortunately being diagnosed with Thalassemia at a young age. He used his experiences of multiple hospitalizations and treatments to understand the body better and was always ready to add his experience to class discussions. Ian unfortunately lost his battle with Thalassemia before graduation, but will always be remembered as part of the PTA Family.
