[Steve Colligan]

Jim Sharpe, Longtime Alaska RC enthusiast noted by his professional peers
for 45+ years of professional excellence and leadership!  Is it great to
have community leaders such as Jim that have also been longtime AMA members
and RC enthusiasts.  Jim, like his RC friends will tell you, "that his
friendly and outgoing personality that have made a pleasant steady hand at
the flying field", are also the personal traits that his professional peers
have note make him a great boss, co-worker and industry leader in our
State.  Jim is not retired, but still finds plenty of opportunity to fly in
the warmer weather south of the border in the winter and the long summer
daylight hours in Alaska.

Congratulations Jim Sharpe!
