This is one of two SMSA Named Scholarships in memory of Robert Stethem who was killed by Shiite terrorists during the June, 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847. As a member of the Norfolk-based Underwater Construction Team 1, Steelworker 2nd Class (Diver) Robert Dean Stethem had just completed an underwater construction job in Nea Makri, Greece. He was on his way home when terrorists hijacked his flight. The first scholarship was established in October 1985 through memorial gifts to the Seabee Memorial Scholarship Association. This second scholarship was established in November, 1988 by the Seabee Veterans of America through funds raised by them.
