So many memories traveling with Jim all over the U.S. and working with him in his role as Catron county attorney. Did not find out till today 9/20/22 that he has passed. Was wondering why he was not emailing and posting on Facebook. God speed my friend.

Dear Mr. C., we hadn't heard from you for awhile, but had no idea you had left this realm, until today. We love you and will continue to miss your smile, laugh, humor and seriousness as a great person and attorney. You were a great friend and mentor to us both. You are greatly missed and loved. Adam and Lola Polley, Hurley, New Mexico
