I was sad to see the obituary! Wish I could find the picture of James, Bill Brown and myself at the Weyerhauser Mill in 1996. Those were some sad times for me because my first marriage had just ended, but James always had a way of cheering me up. He always had just the right thing to say...as one of his favorite things to say was... "some people just don't know nuthin''bout how to talk to people"...but he surely did know what to say in my case. He was fun to work with and sure liked seeing...
