The Fire Chief of the Town of Columbus, Bobby Arledge, sponsored Jim W. Dorsett for induction into the Second Wind Hall of Fame.  Jim Dorsett is well recognized in the Columbus Fire Dept for his operational skills and for his dedication to passing those skills on to the newer firefighters. His long professional career with Walt Disney in Florida is put to good use now. Following his retirement here in 2007, Jim Dorsett continued his dedication as an outstanding community volunteer, serving also in the Hospice Thrift Store, the Foothills Humane Society and the Billy Graham Training Center. He and his wife, Shelby, have three children. Michael lives in Flat Rock, N.C., Debbie in Winter Haven, Fla. and Kim in Bloomington, Ill.

For 35 years, the Second Wind Hall of Fame has followed the mission of identifying the most dedicated community volunteers and celebrating the improvements their services bring to our quality of life in the Thermal Belt.  More than 180 local volunteers are currently members of the Second Wind Hall of Fame.
