My condolences to Jim's children. He was one of my closest friends even though in High school football he and Howard Brown tackled me and broke my leg the Monday before our State playoff game Thanksgiving day 1948 with Grand Junction. He was my room mate the last two years of college at Colo A&M. We seldom visited in later years and that was a huge error !... May God Bless his family.
