Jim always had a smile and definitely had a great sense of humor. I learned a great deal about honeybees. Many years ago, Jim always brought back some tupelo honey. Oh, it's the best! So many fair memories and setting up honey displays. Thank you Jim for the inspiration you have left on many lives.
