Very cool, but can't help thinking it would have meant more to him while he was alive

Re: F. Atlee Dodge inducted into Alaska Aviation Museum

Atlee was a true class act, and a friend. While there's no doubt that this would have been better done while Atlee. Was still with us, I guess the old story is probably true: Better late than never.

In any case, Atlee enjoyed near rock star status while he was alive. And, he earned every bit I of respect he received and then some.

Lots of Atlee stories out there, and most every one of them is positive....

Quite a guy,
