Larry, it's completely inexcusable that you've done so much in preserving Jim's legacy all these years and never even received a simple "thank you" from any members of his family. I'll never understand it. It seems the more you do to honor Jim and give so much to the fans by preserving all his great recordings, the more enemies you seem to make. NONE of this makes any sense at all, but it seems to be the norm these days! This world, and the people in it, are getting crazier and crazier! However, the majority of Jim's fans could never thank you enough for all the years you've worked so hard to give us all the wonderful releases you've put out that otherwise would never have seen the light of day. As you said, they almost certainly would have fallen into the hands of the hoarders that selfishly refuse to share any of what they have with the rest of us. It hurts every time I think of what they already possess that Jim's fans around the world will never get to enjoy. I was very happy to hear that Mary's wishes to be buried next to Jim will finally be fulfilled, although her wishes should have been carried out as soon as she passed away. It's a damn shame that so much greed on the part of certain individuals has done so much to damage Jim's legacy-- but I shutter to think how much worse the situation would have turned out if not for you, Julie and Sara. As always, a great big THANK YOU for all you have done!
