On Monday, Wayne and Jan Heilmann as well as Ellis Johnson retired from CNCC after many years of service. The CNCC maintenance department initially decided to throw a retirement party for the Heilmanns as they learned that Ellis Johnson, the CNCC chief flight instructor was also retiring at the end of the year. The retirement celebration turned into a potluck also celebrating the holidays. CNCC staff, faculty and administration attended to recognize the retirees and to thank them for their hard work through the years.
