My deepest condolences to Jim’s family. I met Jim in the summer of 1973 at Wilderness Corps. Toward the end of that summer I was assigned to his and Dave’s canoe for a 10-day trip/slog through some of the most beautiful and challenging parts of the Nopaming wilderness. We were a three person unit sharing everything and I was the weakest link. But Jim’s gentlemanly good nature and patience made the difficult times easier and fun for me. Jim also has a tiny place in the ‘74 Gordon Bell yearbook as part of a crowd shot sitting beside me at the high school football game final. In the span of a lifetime, our friendship was brief, but these memories that Jim was a part of were special to me. I wish his family all the best.
