Former AMA Executive Director Passes Away


Former AMA Executive Director James Ashley Cherry died unexpectedly at his home on December 2nd.

Our President Dave Mathewson, had the following to say about Jim, “During his nearly four years as the Academy’s Executive Director beginning in 2006, Jim launched a number of important initiatives for AMA. The entire model aviation community will miss him, and all of us at AMA extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife Lynn, and his family.” I certainly echo Dave's sympathies, and want to add that the times I spent interacting with Jim were all positive.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to the Homeless and Hunger Coalition of Northwest Florida, Inc., P. O. Box 549, Panama City, FL 32402-0549. Ph: 850-819-2173.
