This is a sad day, remembering back to this day in 1964. The waiting for word about the missing plane with Jim and Dean in it was endless and horrible! It must have been even worse for their families! They will never be forgotten as their music will be there for posterity!
Always for Jim, Doris

Yes Doris it is a sad day today. Hard to believe it's been 52 years already. I'm going to watch his movie Kimberley Jim and the tv performances DVD I bought from Larry.

Yes, Doris, a very sad day indeed.
I cannot even imagine the trauma of those who lived through those grueling couple of days...

Thanks for your post of remembrance.

Today at church I was able to have my own private Jim Reeves tribute. One of the hymns sung was "Have Thine Own Way, Lord," which we all know Jim recorded for the album "We Thank Thee". The song was picked by the associate pastor because it went with his sermon topic, not because of what today is.

Doris, it's great to know that Jim and Mary had really true friends in you and Elmer. Jim would be happy to know that he is still missed by you and his loyal fans after 52 years. Every July 31st brings back memories of that terrible day in 1964, but we should use that day to remember Jim and be thankful that he was here to give us so much great music. Jim will always be missed...
