we enjoyed Jim spending some of-his time in the dartnell press room on his breaks. always had a story or joke too make our day. his name still comes up with other dartnell press room folk that still get together occasionally. may we meet in heaven.

My relationship with my Uncle Lt. George T Gabel, a pilot with the Bruma Bridge Busters, is what drew me to Jim and his very personal story. I had only just learned of him when he had passed on ito the 'wild blue yonder', and so missed the opportunity of communing with 'Jimmer'. He is missed.

To James M. Vesely family: I just today finished reading "Unlike Any Land You Know", and was googling him intending to contact him regarding his book. What a shock to find his obituary.
