James Robert "Jim" Drumwright

We are very sad to say farewell to one of our oldest friends. We knew Jim in San Francisco, went to the wedding of Jim and Nina, and welcomed their three children. In later years we were not often in the same area, and we feel bereft that we did not visit with Jim and Nina very often. Our sincere condolences to all the family! John and Alison Steadman

I worked with Dr. Jim at the Fed and kept in touch with him after his retirement. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and I salute and thank Dr. Jim for encouraging me to delve into some great books on Keats and Samuel Johnson and to attend Wagner's operas. I found Dr. Jim to be a kind, thoughtful, intelligent and cultured man. I continue to appreciate the book on Johnson's Journey to the Hebrides that Jim brought me from the UK. I will miss our phone conversations on what was next on Dr. Jim's reading list and his opinion on my opera selections. I consider myself fortunate to have crossed paths with Dr. Jim as I learned a lot from him, especially a greater appreciation for the arts. May God Bless Dr. Jim and may he rest in peace.
