Jim and I joined IUCN staff in Gland in the same month in 1883. For the 40 years since then we have skied, hiked, played tennis and traveled all over the world. We have enjoyed visits to Jim in Invermere each year since we moved to Canada, and he has been here to lecture our students. Jim involved me in many World Heritage evaluations for nominated forest sites. Jim was a great friend and colleague and will be greatly missed. Vale Jim.
