For a few days, I have been trying to contact 257 Shooter about getting together and casting and doing some shooting. When my emails and calls went unanswered, I became concerned and I was near Jim's neighborhood this afternoon so I decided to stop for a quick visit to make sure all was well.
Jim's neighbor informed me that Jim died on July 5 after working in the yard on a extremely hot Texas afternoon. Jim and I both shared a fondness for the Quarterbore and had planned on shooting some cast in our 257 Bobs.
I spoke with his daughter tonight and gave her my condolences. We are diminished.
I looked under 257 Shooters profile and his last visit to Cast Boolits was July 5,2010.
May he rest in peace.
