per http://ncepconnects.org/Nicholas_Popov.html, there is a Nicholas Popov 
Memorial Reward:
Nicholas Popov Memorial Award

Nicholas Popov lived all over the world before he came to call Newmarket, New 
Hampshire his home. During his years here he came to love working with children and 
often read books to Newmarket elementary school students, telling them, "Even if you 
are sitting in your room, you can go places with books."

When Nick passed away in June of 2006 Newmarket lost a great friend. The 
contributions he made to our town were valuable and personal. He helped others out 
of love for people, rather than a need for personal gain, and he shared his skills, 
interests, and time freely.

The Nicholas Popov Memorial Award is given to a member of the Newmarket 
Community each year who demonstrates the spirit of personal generosity, kindness, 
and service that Nick radiated through his actions. The recipient of this award must 
show a commitment to supporting Newmarket's children and youth through actions and 
efforts promoting that help to build a caring community.
