History
In February 1990, Jeffrey Allen Dimond, son of Dr. Keith and Ms. Julie Dimond, was a freshman at Florida Tech majoring in Aviation Management and Flight Technology. On the morning of February 3rd, during a cross-country flight, he followed all FAA regulations to land his aircraft at the Sebastian Municipal Airport. His plane was struck from behind on final approach by another plane resulting in his death. Medical Associates of Savannah created the endowment in memory of Jeffrey. His mother, Julie Dimond is grateful to learn of the recipients each year.
