My friendship with Jim lasted over many decades. We were neighbors growing up at Four Corners and spending many years playing and doing the usual things kids on the rez did. When I moved away in the late 60's we lost touch until our paths would cross again when we were both employed by the F.A.A. OKC became a new meeting place for us and other guys from the rez employed by the F.A.A...Mr. Man, Frank and Doug. I feel lucky to have known him as a friend and I know that our paths will cross again. Peace my friend.
