I would like to extend my sympathy to Pat and the rest of the family with the passing of Jim. I met Jim in 1983 when I joined PDQ and we worked together for 7 years. During that time we shared our military stories and found we both liked hunting and Jim would deer hunt in Clark county where I also hunted each year. We also had the opportunity to grouse hunt together several years, from my cabin in Clark County. John A. Gerold
