I am very sorry to learn that my first cousin Jim has passed away. Our fathers were identical twins and our childhood was spent at one house or the other. Jim was a math whiz, a musician, an artist (with his photography) and a maker of hot sauce that would blister paint! I loved his sense of humor. I will miss him very much.
