I had the honor of serving in the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club — shuttling Alfa Strike Packages from the RTCC/7AF out to the carriers on station — the same time Jim was serving in a Tin Can, doing shore bombardment and plane guard duty. A very small world.

Was further honored to be a Charter Member of our Free Republic when Jim cranked up this wonderful organization, well over a decade ago.

I wish this wonderful gentleman every good fortune in the days ahead.
