I was a graduate in the 1963 class.  So sorry to hear about James.  Time really goes by fast.  It seems just a couple of years ago that we were graduating.

I was a graduate in the class of '63 with James.  What an outstanding and (good looking) friend he was to all.  I have very fond memories of him and my school annuals were signed by James with the nicest notes.  I am very sorry to hear of his passing.
