Now here is something to blog about, FKCC is going to share in 2.24 million of a special appropriation for Instrumented Underwater Training Systems (IUTS). Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle worked with a team of people on this project: Bill Chalfant, Dive and Aquatics Director at FKCC, Dr. Patrick Rice, and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Landesberg-Boyle credits the strong leadership and dedication of Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in the success obtaining funding for this very important Defense Appropriations Bill.
This is a very big deal for FKCC and really highlights the special talent and skills that FKCC dive’s program has. To quote Bill Chalfant, “It’s an unprecedented amount for a small community college”.

Quote from William B. Chalfant, Director, School of Diving, Florida Keys Community College:
“Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle was instrumental in establishing the School of Diving by facilitating a one million dollar private donation to this department. In addition, Dr. Landesberg-Boyle’s legislative efforts though her relationship with Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen have produced a Department of Defense appropriation of 2.8 million dollars and an additional $200,000 appropriation of a hyperbaric facility upgrade.”
I just don’t get why this is a story at all. Just leave the guy alone.
