"He seemed to know everything about the art of radar.  More than once a customer has described his designs as works of art.  We knew the part of Jim that took pride in figuring out the complicated, coming up with solutions the rest of us mere mortals could barely grasp. " - Lydell Bowser on my Dad

"...in a flash, a breath

it's over

but remember Anni's four leaf clover

and to those who'll leave

one last Moondance

and as Appy leaves

and crosses the wake

one last look at you I will take

in the morning sun I will blink

and to myself I will think

Give me just a little more time

for our Love will surely grow"

-Chartey Quarcoo TMI Croo  '98
