Lenore,
My deepest condolescences to you and your family. Jim was a dear friend. I know you miss him greatly. Jim was such a "gentle" man. First as a vice-
principal and then as THE principal of Prescott Senior Elementary I appreciated Jim's leadership skills and his problem-solving abilities with our diverse staff. His quiet,calm manner defused many "sticky" situations. In my role as vice principal at Prescott Jim was my mentor, sharing his experience and helping to mold my career with valuable tidbits one can only learn on the job. He was a wonderful man and a great educator. God's richest blessings on you and your family.
