So many wonderful memories of Jim, and of course, Bootsie. One that instantly came to mind was sitting at the dining room table after a fabulous dinner party and Jim's remarks about my teaching profession being "noble." The comment was in the context of people getting paid for their contributions they make to the world and society and how sometimes some should get paid more for their contributions. It stuck with me and how Jim valued and succeeded himself from education. He made my commitment to my career feel worthwhile.
Of course, as many have said, his humor and wit were equal to his intelligence! And lastly, as part of our "summerhouse" world he and Boots were renowned as "two hearts that beat as one." Bootsie's strength and love are a testament to that phrase. I know too that grief is not something you get over, it's something you go through....love, Jean & Pete
