Helen and I met Jim, through Rand Simpson, when they were eye residents at MGG. We became fast friends with Jim and and were always in touch. We had many mutual trips between Montreal, Vermont, Toronto, and Muskoka. We will miss Jim greatly. He was a fixture in our adult lives and important to our 3 children.
