SRRP 10 Ambushed on Hwy 19 while returning to LZ Joan

On this Memorial Day, 2008, I remember Jim as a happy-go-lucky trumpet player that I sat with one spring at KU. While not close friends, we enjoyed many happy times during rehearsals. I still remember the day we found out he had been killed in Vietnam. It was a terrible moment. I think about him often
