I worked with Jim at Dolly Madison Cakes in 1968-1970 and 1974-1975 after my discharge from the USAF. Jim was a Supervisor/Manager for the delivery of products to the grocery stores. I worked in the thrift stores where the bread and cakes were returned from the stores. Jim was always a fun loving guy and I enjoyed working with him very much. Jim´s staff had a lot of respect for him. A fine loving man.
