BAD NEWS
Good friend Jim Alvarez passed away this weekend after a brief battle with cancer. A dedicated teacher, he was also an avid Dead Head, poker player and rugby nut. I had known Jim longer than anyone else in Mobile. I met him when he came to visit us in our "filthy hippy lair" in Panama City in 1968. He had come to propose to Donna on the same day I had asked her to marry me. We stayed good friends through all of the craziness of the Sixties and up to the present. I'm glad his friends were able to throw him the little party at the Blue Gill last weekend. I thought that he would be with us at least a little longer than this. Will miss him. Wake is tommorrow at Radney's on Dauphin Street at about 5 pm.
