James and I got to know each other in Junior High. At first I had a hard time telling him from his brother Joe, but I soon figured it out. We played baseball together in the Babe Ruth league. James was a good pitcher on our team. We had a common friend in Randy Smith, so that helped us get to know one another. I can still remember him calling me "Rayford" and I would shout back somthing about his dad "Lightning". Those were fun times, running down each other's fathers, but don't ever say anything about our mothers, or it's on sucka!

I also played baseball on the same team, but I was the catcher, Jim had a mean curve ball, It was great to be part of his life!!
