I remember when I was in the air Force active duty back in 1989 in Charleston South Carolina was the last time I saw James Shipman I was working for the commissary system Jimmy invited me out to cut wood for him to clear land unexpected by me, he insisted on giving me $50 that day to help him. That went a long way for me you were a good man Jimmy
