James Tharpe

I thought of James today while looking at some vintage drag racing pictures online, wherein following up on my thought of him, discovered he had passed.
I remember him and his buddys working on his Chevy in the garage at the house, getting a ride in his lap behind the wheel of that car at the track. And getting yelled at for letting Floyd into the garage without his shoes. I'm sure those days planted my interest in all things mechanical.

Sincerely,

It is Faith, Family, Friends, and Football that guided us in our years together and it is still those F's in life that form the...
