   ARLB003 ARRL Roanoke Division Director Dennis Bodson, W4PWF, Retires   
      
   ARRL Roanoke Division Director Dennis Bodson, W4PWF, has stepped   
   down, and Vice Director Dr Jim Boehner, N2ZZ, has succeeded him.   
   Bodson announced his retirement on January 16, before the official   
   end of his term next January 1, at the Board of Directors' Annual   
   Meeting in Windsor, Connecticut.   
      
   Fellow Board members gave Bodson a standing ovation in recognition   
   of his years of service to the League. Bodson announced on the   
   opening day of the annual meeting that he was stepping down. Roanoke   
   Division Vice Director Dr Jim Boehner, N2ZZ, has succeeded him. The   
   Board elected Bodson as an Honorary Vice President. Early in the   
   meeting, ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ, presented Bodson with his   
   60-year ARRL membership certificate. Bodson served the League for   
   more than 20 years - as Roanoke Division Vice Director from 1993   
   through 2000, and as Director from 2001 until his retirement.   
      
   An ARRL Life Member, Boehner served as ARRL South Carolina Section   
   Manager from 2003 until 2009, when he was elected Roanoke Division   
   Vice Director. He was re-elected in 2013. Boehner is an avid DXer   
   and has achieved DXCC Honor Roll and 5-Band DXCC. Originally from   
   New York, Boehner is in private medical practice in Aiken, South   
   Carolina.   
      
   ARRL President Kay Craigie, N3KN, has appointed Bill Morine, N2COP,   
   of Wilmington, North Carolina, to fill the remainder of Boehner's   
   term as Roanoke Division Vice Director, effective immediately. An   
   ARRL Life Member, Morine served as North Carolina Section Manager   
   from 2010 until 2014, and is a past ARRL Public Relations Committee   
   chairman. Morine was the 2001 recipient of the ARRL Philip J. McGan   
   award for public relations.
