They made a difference.

Amy and Jamie and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Jim was an awesome director and teacher. What I learned from your folks took me through productions into my adulthood. I have fond memories of you guys too. Please consider yourself hugged by yet one more person whose life Jim changed.
