Posted by Joyce Jackson on 27/5/2007, 9:15 pm, in reply to "Re: Live At The Louisiana Hayride" There is a big difference in what is shared and what isn't. Personalized items such as photos and records that Doris is referring to probably would not mean anything to anyone except Doris and Elmer, but many of Jim's items could and should be placed where anyone could view them. That's what Larry is referring to I know. I only have one autographed photo of Jim, but I have something that to me is priceless, but it's only because Jim made it just for me and that is an acetate of him singing "White Christmas" which was done during the Christmas show when he was doing the ABC Radio Network Show. I told him several times how much I liked it and he had it made and gave it to me one Christmas. The best I remember it was the Christmas of 1961. He put this selection on both sides of the acetate. I treasure that because it's a one of a kind item that he personally gave me; however, I would not mind sharing this if it could be displayed properly. It's very fragile so would have to be done extremely well. I would have to think long and hard before I would do it. Had I known that we were going to lose Jim, I would have saved some things, but when you work for someone, you just do your job and don't think about what may or may not happen. It's till hard for me to believe that he has been gone as long as he has. There are some intersting comments on the forum and it's wonderful to see this. Jim would be very proud. Thanks Joyce
