Dear Jim,

The great crater in our hearts and weeping of our desert-worn eyes caused 
with this news and thought of missing you can't seem real.

We will observe a day of admiration and respect in your honor today: for 
your unique and wonderful accomplishments strewn across the world in the 
field we love, but above all, the kindness, humility, and accessibility with 
which your touched our lives a country away from you.

I am deeply saddened that we never did realize our hunt we discussed 
together, but you have generously accompanied me on many excursions, many 
without my mention (I wish I had said more), and will continue to do so. 
Oro Valley and Tucson are changed for me, and I keep you always in mind as 
one of the few unexpected treasures I found in my life without having to 
look,

Jim, in you, we have a true hero, in the true sense and in every sense.

Doug Dawn
