{KXLG – Watertown, SD} The legacy of two revered figures in Watertown broadcasting, Dean Johnson and David J. Law, continues to support local students pursuing higher education. Thanks to the growth of the memorial funds established in their names, four $500 scholarships have been awarded this year, doubling the number from previous years.
The KXLG Radio – David J. Law Journalism Scholarship, honoring the long and distinguished career of the respected broadcast journalist, has been awarded to two Watertown High School students: Ayden Calvert and Brielle Jenc.
Two scholarships were also granted through the KXLG Radio – Dean Johnson Family Business Scholarship, which recognizes Johnson’s significant contributions to broadcast sales. The 2025 recipients are Ellisyn Vincent from Arlington and Katie Braun (Brown) from Webster.
The Watertown Area Community Foundation administers these scholarships, which were generously established in 2011 by the late Bob Faehn, former owner and general manager of KXLG Radio, upon the retirement of both Johnson and Law, who each dedicated over 40 years of service to the Watertown community.

The David J. Law Journalism Scholarship Fund supports graduating seniors within a 60-mile radius of Watertown who are pursuing post-secondary studies. Similarly, the Dean Johnson Family Business Scholarship Fund assists graduating seniors in the same geographic area who plan to major in business or a related field. The expansion of these funds will allow more local students to benefit from the legacies of these two pillars of the Watertown broadcasting community.
