    Bank and served as a board member for West
    River Health Services. He was also active as a

    and Dickinson Elks. Jay B. served as a trustee
    and has been a 60-year member of the
    Hettinger Lutheran Church. Jay B. promoted
    aviation in the community and sparked the
    interest of youngsters by providing free
    airplane rides to Hettinger first graders for
    more than 35 years.

    In 2010, Jay B. received the FAAs Wright
    Brothers Master Pilot Award for achieving 50
    years of safe flight operations.
