Passing of a friend

My friend Jim Bentley passed away yesterday. Jim was one of the original founders of our Crossville club. We lived too far apart to be really close friends but he was such a wonderful guy. He was a retired architect and it showed in his wonderful work. I got to visit him rarely in the last few years because we lived even further apart and he was unable to attend the meetings. I will miss him. I tried to save a page from one of his articles in American Woodturner but couldn't figure out how to do it. It's in issue 16-4 page 58 if anyone is a member of the AAW and wants to look it up. He also did one on making Pet Urns.
