Young Jim

Many thanks for your kind words Roger and to know that you understand how I am feeling. By the way, the asteriks werent mine....the censor got to my letter.I had mentioned the 'un-mentionable' word.haaaaaa

Hello again Jenny,

Oh! dear me, and there was I thinking that the asterisks were yours and that you were simply making subtle, witty, comment supportive of Jim's views on political correctness.:) Still, no real harm done, Jenny.
Grief and sadness can express itself in many ways. Sometimes we become withdrawn, whilst at other times we might feel angry or seek to apportion blame for our loss. You wanted to show your support for the views that Jim held, which I think is understandable. Although the censor has done what he feels he must, I imagine that, like me, he recognises that your use of that word, blatant though it may seem, was simply an action born of sadness for the loss of a dear friend and not an attempt to regenerate debate on a subject best left in the past.

................best wishes for 2012, Roger

Just received a text letting me know the sad news about Jim.
Jim it was a pleasure & an experience meeting you in Liverpool & getting to hear all your tales of your time at sea & smiling at your flirting. I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to meet again but so glad we kept in touch. I will miss your flirting, your sense of humour & your tales of your time at sea. I'll bet you will be flirting with the Angels:)

Sincere condolences to Jim's wife, sons & grandchildren & his many friends.

Lots of love,
