I have some very short vignettes of moments that Jim and I shared.
We were both on the school wrestling team. Jim was in the next weight class up. I worked diligently to not gain weight because Jim was bigger, faster and more determined to win.
One day he decided to do 600 elbows to knees sit-ups. He recruited me to hold his ankles and count So, I did. I don't know how much time it took, but it wasn't long. He was an amazing athlete.
The first music performance I did with Bob Melies was in junior high in the cafeteria. Unfortunately I didn't own a guitar and only knew three chords. Jim loaned me his Gretsch Corvette. Someone unplugged the guitar from the amp. Caught up in the moment I couldn't tell the difference. RIP old friend...
