An old friend from Thurston Hollow, and neighbor in the 50's. Jim could ride a bicycle, standing up backwards. I was walking home from school one day and Jim had mustered out of the army and went straight to Turrel motors and paid cash for a new 1952 ford pickup. He pulled up along side of me and said "hay kid, Want a ride?". I looked at the odometer and it had 7 miles on it. The distance from Tunkhannock to home. Many good time together. I will miss You Bud.
