Mr. Atkinson was my boss at TRW Aerospace in McLean, Virginia back in 1970 - 1972. I remember him as a true professional. He once told me, with great pride, about his Silver Medal at the 1952 Winter Olympics. When our local paper asked its readers if they had a connection to someone who had ever participated in an Olympics, I had to think of Jim Atkinson. After a brief search I came upon his obituary. Condolences to his family. I will never forget him.
