Jim and I were friends for many years in school and hung out talking and dreaming about hot rodding '32 Ford coupes and going to junk yards looking at old cars. We used to hang out with Winn White (1948-1995) and see what trouble we could cause. We played bad music, Jim on his trumpet, Winn on his sax, and me on my clarinet, and thought it was cool jazz. Jim was a really great, straight up kid, who was a lot of fun and very sweet and nice as they came. I've thought a lot about him over the years and I'll miss him even more now. Maybe he and Sparky are playing ball again....
