********************** Jim and I were in different companies in south area but we saw each other going to and from the gym and we'd jog along together. Jim would usually have the joke of the day and then we'd part for our different interests. On summer trips Jim would always provide some sly humor into whatever was going on. Never saw him after graduation, but remember him as a good companion to be with. We'll meet again. Tom Turner November 25, 2003) ********************** My father taught me about life with tough love. He loved the Academy and he was very proud of me at my own graduation from the class of 1993). He was an inspiration for me and I still miss him. He was strong until the end. Ready Aye Ready Joseph T. Napier March 10, 2005)
