Vice President James Calver led the ceremony. In the photo, he's reading a letter signed by EAA Chairman Jack Pelton congratulating Mark for his service. Constance Castillo, airport manager, gave a tribute talking about all the ways Mark has helped the airport over the years. James arranged some surprise visitors as well--Mark's wife and sons; Wilma Petro, former Meriden City Purchasing agent who oversaw much of the airport's growth; Aviation Comissioner Kathy Battista; City Communications Director Tony Tierzi and his father retired newscaster Al Tierzi. Former Chapter 27 President Jim Simmons is in Florida, but he sent a video message with his congratulations.
