In early 2022, James Bullinger was an inaugural  inductee in the new Alabama Sports and Adventure Hall of Fame.  The Level Plains resident talked with Carolyn Hutcheson, In Focus host, about his decision ten years ago to lose weight and get physically active.  The venue he chose was outdoors, with extensive hiking and mountain climbing in the U.S. and abroad.  Bullinger is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, who has raised funds through his treks for the U.S. Army Aviation Museum
