Me and Jim go back some,,he was instrumental in getting me the big job on the welding part of the RED lighthouse,,
Went to many a Harbor commission meetings,,only to wait another year,,as he had to find the funds!!
The standing Joke was he'd have a switch by his bed to trun on the red light for the 1st year...
Many,Many Great memories at the Club. R.I.P.,My Brother!!!
