First
Mid-South Chapter President Honored
In July 2005, MSVHPA Officers Rhea Rippey and Ross Rainwater,
representing the entire chapter, surprised first chapter President
Charles Bell with the presentation of a plaque commemorating his
service.
Fittingly, Rhea and Ross surprised Charlie as he was coming in from a
Blackhawk checkride at the Army Aviations Support Facility #1 in
Smyrna, Charlies' duty station as a full-time NG technician, and the
site of many a chapter meeting. The checkride was for a young officer
recently off active duty after service in the Gulf. The young officer
was quickly tasked with an additional duty as photographer in front of
the Blackhawk just used for the checkride.
Thanks for your
leadership, Charlie!!
