Jim was a friend. Somewhere there's a photo, taken by a Frenchman, of Jim and I holding hands in a Montana field. He once told me, "Sherman, you're one of them rez Indians who's got too much Catholic in him. Lighten up." I'v got stories about him that I can tell and others that I can't! Thank you for writing this ode to him. I fear he has been forgotten by too many people in the book world.

Matt, Thank You for the introduction to a writer I will be soon checking out.

These days, this sentence should be in every brain, every morning, "Newsworthy events and people, as always, have gotten along in the usual ways without your mental company."
