Mailbag

I really enjoy reading about Florida Tech and its alumni in your magazine. Especially fun was the recent article about my fellow classmates from the Jensen Beach Campus—Ken Ammon ’75 and Tommy Strowd ’76. I was in classes with both of them, and graduated with Tommy in 1976 with a B.S. in oceanographic technology. I also got an A.S. in environmental technology in 1976.

Keep up the good work.

This letter is regarding the last issue’s article on Ken Ammon and Tommy Strowd of the South Florida Water Management District. The Everglades Restoration Plan is a highly scrutinized and truly innovative project that definitely benefits from their skill, knowledge and leadership. But, Ken and Tommy do not work alone. There are an army of individuals who work on the details of this massive endeavor. They include project engineers, lead scientists, project managers, etc, who keep this restoration moving at a tremendous rate, and believe it or not 27 of them are also Florida Institute of Technology graduates! I don’t have the time or space to list their names here, but I wanted to give them some recognition for their hard work and perseverance. So congratulations to all the Florida Institute of Technology graduates working on restoring the Everglades, we are everywhere and we are making a difference in this world!

Thanks,

Kathy LaMartina, class of ’84
Sr. Water Resource Manager
