Jeff - your thoughtful words will help carry me through my grief, but, even more, I am glad to have reminded people of Jim's greatness as a man and a journalist. You would have liked being in his company.

That was a very beautiful and moving tribute to Jim, Holly. I was so glad to see FIN live on when you took it over, and now even more so, as just one piece of the outsize legacy and impact he had on so many of us. Thank you for writing this.

Paul - thank you so much for taking the time to share your lovely thoughts. It means a lot to me, and I know that Jim would have been very pleased to know that people like you loved and respected his work. His outsized legacy will live on, in FIN and so many other places where he made an indelible mark.
