Captian Jim
Posted by Lanea on Wednesday, January 25th, 2006
I just found out that our friend Captain Jim died. It wasn’t exactly out of the blue–Jim had a heart-defect that he’d known about all his life, and he wasn’t supposed to make it past 20. He made it to 55. He made Celtic summer camp a true hoot this year–his first. I rarely meet people who entertain me so well so soon after I meet them. He dove right into every bit of our community. Several of our friends in Michigan had the chance to know Jim for far longer than I did, and I both envy and grieve for them now.
Keep sailing those great lakes, Jim. And we’ll keep singing you back to shore.
