James was so sweet, I was able to meet him when he lived right across the hall from my grandma at Calhoun Medical Facility. He and my grandma actually had gone to school together in Tennessee...and he had a picture of her as a little girl, we had never seen a picture before of her so young. He was such a blessing to all of us.
