THE BAY AREA Radio Control (RC)
Fliers in Coos Bay, Oregon, had its annual
awards banquet on December 13, 2003.
Club president Phil Shellabarger presented
Herb Sessums the Person of the Year
award.
Herb was honored as the person who
has done the most for the club and for the
hobby for the year 2003. Herb has been
instrumental in promoting a number of
projects. In addition he was able to secure
the Roosevelt gym for indoor flying and
has launched a program to introduce young
people to RC building and flying.
Club member Dale Stump received an
award in the form of a Life Membership in
the Bay Area RC Fliers. Dale was
recognized for his dedication and service
to the club. The life membership was the
members’ way of saying thank you for his
years of hard work.
Many clubs have similar awards and this
is a positive way of recognizing those
people who do far more than their share to
make things get done.
The club I belong to, The Barons, has a
Dick Motz Award that is given annually to
people such as Herb and Dale. Dick was
always the first person to volunteer and
most of the time did jobs that needed doing
before most of us realized it.
Dick has passed on but his memory is
alive in this award. We are fortunate to
have a gentleman, Fred Wesselman, a man
who can do anything with us now. Fred is
one of the oldest members of the club and
one of the most active. We owe much of
what we have at the field to him.
My point is that most clubs have
someone like these people in their club, the
hidden heroes. What they give to a club
can’t be measured but their efforts are
what keep clubs alive and enjoyable.
If your club does not recognize these
people, they will still most likely continue
to do what they do because that’s just the
kind of people they are. These people
should be recognized; they may not be
club officers, but they are the ones that
make a club work.
Until next time.
