Jim…

2002 Joe King Ballpark

Another old friend, Jim Richardson, has died. I hadn’t heard nor seen him in a few years when, out of the blue, he called me about two weeks ago. He wanted to chat and, also, tell me about an album he was listening to. “The essential Fleetwood Mac, World’s all in a tangle”. He insisted I download and listen to it. (I didn’t). We talked for a while. He told me he was residing in an assisted living home and it was costing him thousands per month. Jim was a great volunteer at Joe King. When he was on the board I called him The Minister of Umbrage as he was always upset about something. Goodbye old friend RIP.

Fire!

The chimney caught fire. 1993
Fortunately I’d managed to throw a bunch of water into the fireplace, closed the doors, which seemed to stop the fire. The Fire dept. didn’t have to use any water outside or inside. (Phew)

That was it for that piece of junk. Soon I tore it down and took it up to the recycling depot.
