James Gregory and I had so much in common when we both attended Warrior Academy; and although my international travels have kept me very distant, our relationship continued to remain solid over the years. James is someone who I have always considered both intellectual and humanistic, and he will be sorely missed. RIP ...

I am deeply saddened to hear about James. I know we have not been close in many years as life tends to separate friends as we grow older, but I thought of him often. If there is anything I can do to help, please contact me.
