My memories go back to the 70s when I became Jim's secretary in Townsville at the then TCAE Department of General Studies, and Jim was my first boss there. I was amazed at the way he would lock the door to his office of an afternoon and tell me that he needed a ten-minute nap and no-one could disturb him -- and it was only EVER 10 minutes!! I can remember an embarrassing moment when a lecturer came to the office demanding to see Jim, and I said he wasn't there. At that moment the inner-office door opened and Jim came out, yawning. "Oh", he said, "I came in the back door" -- we were on the second floor of the building!! In those days Jim and Helga stuck by me through many a thin time, and I have very many happy and interesting memories with you both, especially when I heard about the rendition of "If I was a rich man" in the shower. But also of our trips to Innisfail and Cairns with Madam Butterfly, etc. I have so many other memories, but they will stay for the moment within my heart. Jim will always be in my heart and my song. With nuch sadness and love. Mary Chambers
