To the Schaad Family:
Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of Jim.
I considered myself a very good friend of his while stationed at Alconbury England in the mid 60's. I wrecked my car on Nov 5 and Jim while living in Peterbourgh was kind enough to drive me home many nights-even when we stayed late at the club. A great man and fellow airman, I'm sure he will be sorely missed by family and friends.
