Things on “The Hill”, especially in the CFA Board Room just haven’t been the same without you Jim! Your smile, your wonderful knowledge of Big Red Football history, and your thoughtful ideas are all greatly missed. Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to tailgating with you again soon!
With love and well wishes,

Hi Jim,
Hope you are feeling better with each passing day and that you will be able to catch the Big Red in action in Ithaca this Fall.

Best wishes and Gods' Blessings for a quick, speedy and healthy recovery!!
Hope you get better soon. I have been reading your stuff. For 68 years and hope it continues.
When I learned you were in Michigan during the football season, it brings back memories of the game you often wrote about. 1951 when mighty Michigan lost to Cornell. The Cornell team leaders were mostly from the Class of '53. As I look at the letters being sent, you will have the biggest response probably ever for the next Alumni News class report. It is so important to have a quick recovery for the next Class '53 report & to continue the consecutive Reunion attendance record. My prayers are with you.
Hi Jim, Get well soon so we can see you on the hill this fall!
Best, Dan
p.s. I noticed your picture above with Richie Moran -- did he push you down the steps????
