Dear Charlotte, my heart aches for you. Jim was such a very special person. I shall always remember the many kindnesses you both extended to me when I was so very young and new to the "FBI game"! I certainly won't forget the home-grown tomatoes and fish which Jim shared or the beautiful dining room furniture when my condo was so empty. Thank you for being such an intricate part of my life. How fortunate that God gave us memories so we can have roses in December. Love to you and Jimmy, ...

I have the fondest memories of Jim Bookhout. My Grandmother played cards with he and his wife when I was a small kid. I joined the FBI after he retired. Jim Bookhout served as the Bank Robbery Coordinator in the Dallas Division and compiled detailed summaries of each case and could easily identify the suspect within minutes from previous robberies. An excellent Special Agent who made great contributions to our country.
