Minnie,
I was so sad to hear about Jim's passing. He was such a kind and compassionate man who accepted everyone at face value. I will miss seeing him in the halls of the VA. You are in my thoughts.
With sympathy, Benita.

My deepest condolences to Dr. Minnie Bowers, Dr. Sam Goss and the entire family on the loss of JC. May we all be reminded of JC's charm, wit and the smiles he brought us with his sayings."Ain't No Fun When the Rabbit Got the Gun" was one that always produced a smile. Forever in our hearts rest in Heaven my friend.
