I just want to say how much I enjoyed school with Jim; sports, swimming Prairie Creek, drive in movies with him in Lester’s trunk, golfing and joking around at the many RHS 53 reunions. “When I threw you a pass Sam, you always caught it.” was the supreme compliment. The passes were always very accurate so it was a matter of self defence. We’ll surely miss our quarterback
