Gerson Salmon Memorial Scholarship

After the tragic loss of our beloved Fraternity Brother and friend, Gerson Salmon-Negron, there was a tremendous outpour of love and concern. With many inquiries from those wishing to assist his family during this difficult time. Brothers of Lambda Theta Phi have created a memorial scholarship in his honor. On February 20, 2016, Gerson Salmon-Negron, 23, was amo

ng four passengers aboard a single-engine plane when the pilot reported engine failure and was forced to make an emergency water landing in Setauket Harbor in Port Jefferson, NY. The three other men aboard were rescued by neighbors and Suffolk County police officers. The Coast Guard and local authorities continued its search and rescue efforts for Gerson but declared it a recovery after 24 hours. Gerson was finally found on the morning of April 11th along the shoreline of Setauket Harbor. According to the NTSB preliminary report , there was no evidence of fuel in the airplane’s fuel tanks. Fueling records showed the aircraft had operated for 5.1 hours since it was last refueled. The final determination of this tragedy will be decided upon the conclusion of all investigations by the appropriate agencies. We sincerely hope a thorough analysis will be provided in due course and that it could prevent future tragedies like the death of our loved one. Gerson was a phenomenal young man who meant the world to so many people. He lived a full life every day and enriched so many of his peers and loved ones. Gerson trained as a third degree black belt, traveled to various countries and was infatuated with Volkswagen cars, especially his GTI. Although he was an avid New England Patriots and Los Angeles Angels fan, his NYC friends still loved him. Gerson was an undergraduate student at City College of New York and dreamed of obtaining his Master’s degree in Business Administration. He was set to graduate this semester with his bachelor’s and would have turned 24 years old on March 17th. He was taken entirely too soon, but we remember him with great pride and love. An annual $1,000 scholarship will be given to a graduating senior at Aviation High School in Long Island City, NY. Gerson and two other passengers were graduates of Aviation Career and Technical High School. Our vision is that this tragedy can provide a message on the importance of aviation safety, especially to young students who are considering such a field. We would welcome any donations. Thank you so much for all of your love, sentiments and support. Sincerely,

Brothers of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc.

Beca Universitaria en Memoria de Gerson Salmon

Despues de la trágica pérdida de nuestro amado hermano y amigo, Gerson Salmon-Negron, recibimos muchas preguntas de aquellos que desearon ayudar a su familia. Finalmente tomamos la decision de crear una beca conmemorativa en su honor. El 20 de febrero del 2016, Gerson Salmon-Negron, 23, se encontraba con tres pasajeros mas a bordo de una avióneta cuando el piloto informó la falla de los motores y se vio obligado a hacer un aterrizaje de emergencia en las aguas de la bahia de Setauket Harbor en Port Jefferson, NY. Los otros tres hombres a bordo fueron rescatados por los vecinos y los oficiales de policía de Suffolk County. La Guardia Costera y las autoridades locales siguieron sus esfuerzos de rescate pero después de 24 horas fue declarado como una recuperación de cuerpo. Gerson por fin se encontró en la mañana del 11 de Abril a lo largo de la línea costera de Setauket Harbor. Según el reportaje preliminar de La Junta Nacional de Seguridad de Transporte , no había indicios de gasolina en los tanques de combustible del avión. Los registros indicaron que la avioneta había operado durante 5.1 horas sin reabastecer el tanque de combustible. La determinación final de esta tragedia se decidirá mediante la conclusión de todas las investigaciones por los organismos apropiados. Esperamos atentamente un análisis meticuloso que se proporcionará oportunamente y que podría prevenir futuras tragedias como la muerte de nuestro hermano. Gerson fue un hombre fenomenal que fue querído por todo el mundo. Llevó una vida activa y enriqueció a tantos de sus compañeros y seres queridos. En karate Gerson llego a tercer grado de cinturon negro. Viajó a diversos países y se encaprichó con automóviles de Volkswagen, especialmente su GTI. Aunque el era un super fanatico de los New England Patriots y Los Angeles Angels, sus amigos de Nueva York todavía lo querian. Gerson fue un estudiante de City College y soñó con obtener su maestría en Administración de Empresas. El estuvo colocado para graduarse este semestre y iba cumplir su 24 años de edad en el 17 de marzo. Gerson fue llevado demasiado de joven, pero lo recordaremos con mucho amor y cariño. Quisiéramos honrar la memoria de Gerson mediante una beca de $1,000.00 beca añual para un estudiante graduandose de Aviation High School de Long Island City, NY. Gerson y dos de los pasajeros eran graduados de Aviation Career and Technical High School. Nuestra visión es que esta tragedia puede proporcionar un mensaje en la importancia de la seguridad de aviación, especialmente a los estudiantes jóvenes que están considerando tal campo. Recibiríamos con beneplácito cualquier cantidad que usted puede donar. Muchisimas Gracias a todos por su apoyo, oraciones y amor. Sinceramente,
