I was completely crushed today to discover the loss of J.B.Dooms. He was one of my favorite photography students at Clovis West High School. I knew him to be so bright, confident and always in good humor. He emailed me in 2009 telling me all about his web site just before leaving to Costa Rica to photograph a surfing contest. I was bragging to a current student today about J.B. As I looked for his web page I found the bad news. Life is so unfair it seems. J.B. was a such great guy. I remember when he volunteered to give a speech at Keith Tice's memorial service when he was 17 year's old. He stood 10 ft. tall to me that day. I don't know if it was photograghy or personality or both but we had a close friendship. The world lost one of its good ones in J.B. Dooms. Add my name to the list of people who loved that guy and will remember him forever. May God bless his soul in eternity.

I remeber JB as a happy, cute boy in my 4th grade room at Cowden Elementary School in Springfield, MO. As I read the article, I recognized many of the characteristics JB showed even as a boy. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of such a special man. Much love to you and all your family.
