    Jim was a Harris-Elmore Class of 1964 classmate of mine and even though I have not seen Jim in many years I remember enjoying his broad smile, his kindness and sense of humor. Jim’s life since high school shows those attributes stayed with him throughout. And thank you, Jim, for your service to our country.

    Kae: So sorry to hear that Jim passed away. Losing a husband is not an easy thing. I went through it in September of 1918. Your children will be a big comfort to you at this time. Remember all the good memories.

    It is hard to admit what our future has for Us, but, I’m glad I met him on time to enjoy a few days with him, I was in the first when our unit went to Viet-Nam, I did enjoy speaking with him and really had the opportunity, to speak, Well Haar it was great to meet you and hopefully we will meet in Heaven when my turn comes around, Hopefully I will be buried in Arlington National Commentary with my new wife Diana .
