I just learned today of Jim’s passing. I am so sad. He was our debate coach in lead. His training has had the most impact on my life of anything. He was brilliant. He was encouraging. He was fair and decent. He was an outstanding role model. Thank
I can see him now with Carol, smiling.
Z or Jimmie as I called him was a friend from the time we met in 1966 when he was Director of Forensics at Lead High School and I was at Winner High School. From that time on we attended several conventions together and at the end of each school year
