Drew Friedman In addition to being a property owner, developer, visionary, teacher, and lover of the arts in Westport, until his death on February 27, 2016, Drew owned several iconic restaurants in the area including Onion Alley, Cobbs Mill Inn, and the Stonehenge Inn. Drew’s first wife Bobbie, was an accomplished artist who died in 2011, furthering Drew’s commitment to supporting the arts in the town that supported Bobbie. As administered by Drew’s business partner, Nick Visconti, the foundation will also give out scholarships to students with financial need, and will support art programs that are run by a few local non-profits every year. Thanks Drew! SCHOLARSHIPS
