Wright Brothers award

Jorgy was awarded this recognition in 2006, but I thought I'd put it online for the benefit of the curious. The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award (Fairbanks Flight Standards District Office Honoree 2006) is awarded by the FAA. Other honorees include Randy Acord, Pearl Laska, Merrill and Richard Wien, and others. A biography of Jorgy is included on their website (PDF).

Oral history collections

Jean Lester has collected many, many hours of tapes over the two years or so worth of interviews with Jorgy, and intends to donate these the UAF Polar Regions Oral History collections.

A photo of Jorgy

From Men of the Tundra: Alaska Eskimos at War, by Muktuk Marston, comes a listing on Alaskool of photos, including one of Jorgy. You have to scroll most of the way down the page.
