What a nice tribute to such a one-of-a-kind fellow. I delighted in reading about his early days.

I watch Fox News every Saturday morning starting at 10 am--and one of the reason I did watch was because of Jim's presence. In the short time I got to watch him I regarded him with great respect. You could just tell he had character.

He obviously was a very smart man, and at times I was glad to see him put some of thosse 30 and 40 somethings in their place. Those young whipper-snappers "just don't get it" a lot of the times. Perhaps experience helps one to see more of the long-range overall picture.

Nothing can replace experience and he surely had much of it to share along with a big heart and geat work ethic. By the way I will be 65 next July. And I don't think I am old, just more experienced.

God Bless.
