I found this picture of Jim Jacobs who recently passed away. Probably many of his classmates didn't know Jim was an Eagle Scout.,it is the highest award or rank attainable in Boy Scouts. Since its inception only 5 per cent of Scouts attain this rank and since 1911 roughly 2.5 boys have received it. Eleven Medal Of Honor receipients received Eagle Scout, as well as over 40 astronauts including Neil Armstrong. Gerald Ford was an Eagle Scout. Other notable awardees are Steven Speilberg, NBA Hall of Famer Bill Bradley, Sam Walton among others. As you can see Jim was in some exclusive company.i

I always thought of Jim as a "gentle giant". He was one of the nice guys.

I didn't really know Jim, but remember his sister Caroline. It's always sad to lose a classmate. RIP
