Justin Lumberpond has had a few difficult years. His well publicized break-up with a head shaving pop singer, the the unfortunate wardrobe malfunction at the superbowl and recently another break up. Now with a new album and his life turned around, Justin has decided to turn his energy to charity and create a scholarship for plumbers. The scholarship is to pay $2,000 per semi-annual period in perpetuity and is to be awarded to the top plumbing student specializing in sinks. Lumberpond can earn 6% compounded semi-annually in long term bonds.
