In a brief appearance, Sergeant At Arms John Martinka saluted Lt. Col. Tom Smith, who has spent quite a bit of time on the airwaves during the early stages of the Iraq campaign. Tom was featured on the Dori Monson show on KIRO and in a session with Dan Lewis on KOMO-TV 4. Tom, while an Air Force pilot, went on 45 missions during the Gulf War. It doesn’t seem very patriotic, but Martinka fined him $2.00.
John Mix celebrated his 17th year with the BBRC, having joined in March 1986.
