It was an honor to work for Jim many decades ago, he appreciated a good days work and let you know it. I recall picking him 1000 worms in the spring and the fall for his fishing trips. I recall the sparkle in his eye when he was telling me about an older man who was going to teach him how to fish for Musky in the Saint Lawrence river. I hope he hooked a few big ones. Glad I had an opportunity to be a small part of his days at New York Telephone.
