It´s hard to believe that so many months have gone by. Had lunch with Marcia Soja last week. She was another fellow teacher of Jim´s. We both continue to speak highly of him.

My sincere condolences to the Mullaly family. "Mr. Mullaly" was a teacher of mine at the "new" Stall Brook School. I still remember him as an endearing and impassioned elementary school teacher.

I have fond memories of my dear friend, Jim. We taught together, as partners, for many years at the Stallbrook School in Bellingham. I cherished our long conversations and our teaching connection was genuine. He was truly an incredible human being and will be greatly missed. Carol Consigli

My partner at StallBrook and my friend added much to my teaching and my life. A piece of my heart has gone and though we were not in touch lately his place in my memories is secure. Condolences to his family and my prayers for all who shared the world with Jim. Rose
