Carl A Gelin – Mr. Gelin and his wife Gracil moved to Clearwater from Washington, D.C. in 1963. He was a retired engineer form the civil service who had served in the Navy during WWII.

However, they did create a trust, and upon their deaths, a bequest in the amount of $200,000 came to USF to create a scholarship for USF St. Petersburg, the College of Public Health, and USF Honors Program.
