While Mike Rushing never would have sought honors for himself, those closest to him said his focus on "faith, family, friends and service" made him a deserving recipient of the IMX Achievement Award. The award was presented posthumously to Rushing, founder of Rushing Marine Service LLC, Rushing, of Jackson, Mo., who died March 5 at the age of 79. His family accepted the award at the Inland Marine Expo, hosted by The Waterways Journal May 31-June 2 in Nashville, Tenn. Tava Foret, president and co-founder with Rushing of the Towing Vessel Inspection Bureau (TVIB), spoke about Rushing's legacy, including helping to create what became the Coast Guard's Subchapter M regulations by which the industry currently operates to help ensure mariner and vessel safety. |
