As of today Jerry Harkin is now 81 years old! Yesterday he hosted his own party at the Chapter meeting house. Jerry is a Vietnam Veteran, (only been shot down once in his Huey) More recently Jerry received the FAA Wright Brothers Master Pilot award for his 50+ years in aviation. Thanks for being such an inspiration to the rest of us…. Tim Sparks Social director
