I am a fourth generation South Dakotan whose Great-Great Uncle William Ebenzer Jayne was the first territorial governor of Dakota Territory and was Abe Lincoln’s private physician. I am a historian with a focus on military aviation. I became a private pilot in 1978 and have been a lifelong collector of aviation memorabilia. I have a dozen motorcycles and love to ride, love to build and remodel homes and have recently become a student helicopter pilot.
