One of my best friends ever was a fellow by the name of James Alan Mason, aka Jamie. Of all the people I have ever known, Jamie was the most multi-faceted person I have come across. For those of you who knew him, he was perhaps the physically strongest person you ever knew. Great athlete. With that, he had the hands of a surgeon and could take those hands and work on the wings of a butterfly. He was as good an outdoorsman that ever lived. The vast majority of meat he and his family ate, he had harvested from nature. I have a hundred stories of times with Jamie, real good times, whether we were hunting, fishing, sitting around telling lies, or discussing some very deep subjects that Jamie was not immune to sharing. He knew when he had a friend and he had complete trust in them and would share his closest and kept thoughts to you when he needed to. I am thinking of Jamie today because it is Mothers Day. My mother loved Jamie and they became good friends. Jamie and mom would have conversations for hours on end at times. I kind of hope they are having one of those conversations today. RIP Jamie. Everyone that ever knew you are in full agreement, you were one great person and friend.
