I met Jim when I joined Eastern Connecticut State University as a new faculty member in the fall of 2001. As an excellent teacher, and mentor he has made a significant contribution to the sciences in the state of Connecticut. Thanks for the fine work.

We English teachers who had the privilege of working beside Carole for so many years ADORED Jim Shores. How he made her laugh! And the stories she shared made all of US laugh. I am deeply grateful for his warmth, his curiosity, his humor, and his embrace of all of us in Carole's orbit. He was such a gentleman.
