It's a relief to know Jim had such a kind and giving friend in you Kali!

And thanks for giving us a bit of background on who MFM truly was. That has been a gift in and of itself! Most of us here knew him only through the quirky, sometimes goofy photoshopped pics he so loved to post. Over time we built an image of him as a kind, giving soul, if not a bit gruff at times But none of us truly knew him the way you did. Thank you for sharing him with us!!
