HFMA Reflections

Recently while on an airplane trip I perused a couple copies of HFM magazine.  I had stacked a few up on my future reading pile and knowing I had a three-hour flight there was going to be reading time.
Those remaining few members within the Washington Alaska Chapter of HFMA that know me, Jim Rowson, know that I am long retired.  I must thank a past Washington Alaska Chapter Board for bestowing upon me a Lifetime Member Status, and with that, permitting me to maintain a connection with an unbelievably valuable organization, HFMA.
