I was just looking at the memorial page of Lockport High School students and I saw this one about Jim Clark who lived in Bothell.
I was on the same Lockport High School baseball team with Jim. I also live in Bothell for the past 8 years.
How I wish I had met him out here and we could have talked about old times. Nobody could throw harder than Jim! May he Rest In Peace.
