Charlie Sheen controversy not expected to impact father’s ties to Dayton

((Excerpt))

DAYTON — The controversy swirling around actor Charlie Sheen isn’t expected to have any impact on his father Martin Sheen’s continuing connections to his hometown of Dayton.

Those include a performing arts scholarship at Wright State University and the Dayton International Peace Museum, where Sheen is an honorary trustee.

Sheen (who was born Ramon Estevez in Dayton) and actress Samantha Langevin established the Augsburger/Estevez Scholarship in 1997 in memory of their fathers, who were both lifelong employees of NCR Corp. in Dayton.

“The fund has in no way been affected by Charlie Sheen’s situation,” said W. Stuart McDowell, chair of Wright State’s Department of Motion Pictures, Theatre and Dance.
