“Jim was a superb geography teacher and had a profound positive impact on my life. I went on a bicycling trip to Ireland with a small group that he arranged when I was in high school. I was thrilled to be in his Ireland travel presentation. His class and that trip inspired me to earn my BA, MS, and PhD in Geography. I have been a geography professor for 18 years now, and have brought dozens of student to other countries. Jim taught me in Ireland 40 years ago to always explore when traveling, even if you're tired, to fully experience new places. To this day I warn my students and two daughters "if you take a nap you are missing out" when traveling. I just spent 5 weeks in Costa Rica and was thinking of Jim as I reminisced about my travels.”
