Bryan Cook, 944th Fighter Wing Commander, Harry Shappel and Alma Shappel, Tech Sgt. Graydon William's brother-in-law and sister, and Chief Master Sergeant Jeremy Malcom, 944 FW command chief, after receiving the Graydon Williams Award Feb. 14. The award is presented annually to an Air Reserve Technician or Active Guard Reserve member who personifies the character and traits of the late Tech. Sgt. Graydon Williams, a 944th Fighter Wing maintenance ART who died at a young age of cancer. The essence of the award is based on superior performers who do not seek recognition, perform clearly above expectations, and have not been adequately recognized for their overall contributions and impact on the wing.
