In 1999, I was encouraged by Jim who shared probably no more the two sentences.  He did not know at the time what an impact that his words would have on me and how they have come to shape my life.

I don't know what prompted me to let him know how it affected me, but in 2007 I sent him a letter and I am glad that I did.  A few days after I sent the note in the mail, I received an email that brought tears to my eyes.  I still have his message and keep it in a special email folder that I go through when I need a lift.

Thanks Jim.
