Happy Birthday, Jim, to a real legend.
You probably don't know how many people you've inspired!

Enjoy your B-Day, Jim! I'm wishin' you all the best of everything always!!
Great first pic Ron! I have such clear images of Jeff Matthes' shoulder-length+ hair in C4 BITD. Tho all of us have changed outwardly, all of us (mostly) are still who we are after so much time...
Here are some pix of Jim from 1969: Only 41 years ago! What a handsome dude!
These next two would be greatly improved by Peter or someone hitting them with Photoshop or something...

Donini, just got off the phone with Jimbo, he can "feel" the love and will take a look sometime tonight. He's busy writing, but said he'd take a look. Hope he recognizes the youngin' in the photos.
What a motivation, inspiration and leaderation for so many of us, who only wish we could have been so good at something in our lives.
Thanks Jim for doing it like you did!
Peace
Hey Bridwell say hi to Layton(Happy Birthday to him too,) and give Peggy a big hug from me!

Jim at Stone Groove around 1972. Eric Beck was visiting and Jim was showing him some of the newer routes.
Ken, great to see a picture of Lois. I exchanged a few e-mails with her a few years ago. She sounded good. Sent me pictures of treking in North Africa, I think.
