A beautiful tribute, Ash. Thank you for sharing your stories, lessons and fond memories.
Ash: I am just hearing of Jim's death through your beautiful remembrance of him in this space. It is quite a shock. Jim hired me for my first industrial science job back at G.D. Searle in May of 1992 and I found him to be a wonderful mentor and scientist, and was saddened when he took early retirement about a year later. Even though we were only working together for a year, I will never forget that year and remain so grateful for the opportunity Jim provided to me, and more importantly for the opportunity to get to know and work with this remarkable individual. Thank you Ash for the wonderful remembrance of Jim.
