Read MoreSorry to hear of Jim's passing ! Condolences to all in his family! I was looking for his phone number when I ran into his obituary. I was a member of Jim's last Cross Country Championship Team in 1971.I owe a great deal of my success in life to Jim and SMU. He was a great person and great coach. Jim loved his runners,his truck, his dogs, chicken fried steaks, and Dickey BBQ. We loved him as well!! Bless you Jim!! Jeff Dixon
