Sorry to hear, Ray and Abby were my godparents and I always got a Christmas present. When they came to farm, I was closer in age to Jim's brother Rick and Bruce, we would show our city cousins the farm. I am sure my older brother and sisters showed Jim the horses, and shared our chores with him. Sorry to hear, condolences from Alaskan cousins.
