Jim, my marine corps buddy. We were stationed at El Toro and in the same squadron. I even took you home with me over a long week end to Tucson Az. I think I still have a photo taken of us in Nogales Mex. Thought of you often. You were the best. Rest easy marine. JB Madison

Growing up in West Lynn, we always were part of the gang. We played hard and always to win. Where has the time gone? RIP my friend, Lowbo
