t was an unexpected and near-disaster event that brought Samuel Goldman and his family together with Embry-Riddle over 45 years ago. “My father was flying back from the Bahamas when his plane lost an engine and he had to make an emergency landing at the Daytona Beach campus,” recalls Barbara Schwarz, Ione of Goldman’s daughters. “That day could have had unfortunate consequences, but instead, he met Jack Hunt and began a friendship that grew stronger every year.”

It didn’t take long for Goldman’s friendship with Hunt to progress into a meaningful involvement with Embry-Riddle. As the founder of Chesapeake Airways Service Corp., one of the largest dealers of used aircraft parts in the country, Goldman was able to share valuable advice and insight with Hunt about aircraft acquisitions and issues in the industry. And later, Goldman donated several airplanes and became the university’s first million-dollar donor.

In addition to his generous donation, Goldman and his wife established an endowed scholarship named the Samuel M. Goldman and Jack R. Hunt Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to sophomore, junior and senior students who are earning a degree in the aviation technology related fields.

“Aviation was my father’s life and he loved to be around others who were immersed in it as well,” says Schwarz. “He liked what Embry-Riddle was doing and believed very strongly that everyone deserved a good education, and he wanted to help others as much as possible.”

Today, Goldman’s family, led by Barbara and Roger Schwarz, are continuing to support what he believed in most. “We were initially drawn in by my father’s enthusiasm and today we’re very pleased to be a part of what the university is doing,” says Mrs. Schwarz. “Supporting this scholarship Goldman’s passion for aviation has not only influenced fund is quite an honor for us because it gives us a meaningful his own grandson, but it’s impacted many Embry-Riddle way of keeping his memory and belief in education alive.” students over the years.
