To the Fromuth Family,
I hold fond memories of visiting Fromuth Fine Arts back in the 60s and 70s and depending on Jim's
expertise on a number of fine arts
purchases and many framings. I remember when tennis complimented
the art experience. I have been in
Tucson AZ for almost 20 years so have lost touch with Reading happenings except through my relatives and the on-line Reading Eagle. I am sorry to hear of Jim's
passing and it brings back my own
memories of earlier times in my own
life. On this Thanksgiving Day I
say THANK YOU, JIM for just being
a wonderful you.
