I read of Jim's passing and could not help but remember how he offered my then husband, now deceased, Dick Goss a job trying to help him sort out workers comp in the 1979 session. Jim launched Dick's career in workers comp for the following 7 years before he died. And at some point in 1979 the Chrest family had a litter of kittens. We took a darling furry gray one who we named Cloudy and he lived for a wonderful 16 years. Thank you Jim for all of that - thinking of your family and community who will miss you.
