Happy Birthday Jim Bourke!

[Jim T. Graham]

Hey everyone!
Today is Jim Bourke's birthday. I thought it would be fun for all of us to wish him happy birthday on the forum he created 14 years ago.

Jim B. thanks for creating a forum that has helped me rapidly move through my RC learning process, allows me to travel to shows all over the country, hang out virtually with my RC friends and a place to hang my hat. It is a privilege to be the Admin Deluxe and work with someone that I consider a friend and innovator.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM!

[GFBurke]

Thanks for what you do!

[Innov8tive]

I know that several people have already heard the stories, but I will say it here again. My interaction here on RC Groups was directly responsible for the birth and formation of the two companies that I am part of. First as the Owner and CVO of Innov8tive Designs, distributor of Scorpion motors and speed controllers, and second, as a founding partner of Whisper Aerospace.

Both of these companies were created through interaction with other modelers here on RC Groups, and without this great Forum, there is a good chance that neither would have come into being.

Jim, your vision and hard work has spawned off the visions of other people all over the world, and I just wanted to publically say thanks for a Job Well Done!

Sincerely,

Lucien Miller
