Is it possible to get a copy? I would like to have it for me, and my children and grandchildren too. I think I have found all of your mothers' books( and with you too). Thank you very much. Noel Juliette,

Jim, along with Bill Conklin, gave me my very first architectural job. I had acquired several degrees by then but had no real experience. C&R was more than gracious in allowing me into the Real World of Architecture. I was just mentioning to my family today how I was beside myself on my first day of work at C&R: this was truly cool! Jim was my role model since I was claiming to be a designer although I had not yet earned my designer badge. But the awesome thing was that he and Bill allowed me to develop and grow. Jim always had a great sketching talent and I think, to this day, I owe a great deal to the exposure to his abilities. I also remember an exhibit of Jim's drawings that I attended in New York where I stood in awe of his work. Now I'm retired and doing etching and artist books--something that I'm sure I, at least partially, owe to those early New York days. Those of us who shared his commitment to the joy of architecture and urban design are so much the better because of it. Jack Fahnestock I was truly saddened to hear of Jim’s passing.
