Read MoreJane, It was such great news at our last reunion that you and Jim had married. It was great that you could come to KC to be part of our 60th reunion. Don Degges and I were fortunate to marry right out of high school. along with several other couples. I am so glad that you and Jim had these last years together. Jim will be missed by all the 54 grads, as he was a big asset to our class. God Bless.

Jane and family,
Earl and I remember Jim well from his brilliant days and years at Central High School. Working with him on a project was always an unforgettable experience, as his mind was always "in gear" and way ahead of anyone else. Thank you Jim for all your contributions to the world. Rest in Peace.
