Thank you, Scott,\u201d and went about hosting the dinner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t realize he had a million dollars in mind,\u201d Martin said, in announcing the gift Thursday. \u201cThat kind of caught me by surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Said Patterson, \u201cLarry said it right: Just coming to UND is really inspiring. I\u2019ve observed the aviation program over the last several years, and it has inspired me to give back to aviation what aviation has given to me. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn desiring to support the ongoing growth of the University of North Dakota\u2019s aviation-related programs, it is my privilege to establish the Scott W.
