“I was a B-2 classmate at West Point, and will be working on Jim's memorial article for the West Point publication. I never roomed with Jim in my time at West Point, but knew him from classes, intramurals, and other activities. He was a quiet guy, but very solid in his dedication to West Point and the Army. I was at Indiana University at the same time in 1974-78, but only saw him one time at a concert in Indianapolis. We will miss him, and offer sympathies to the family. [email protected]”
