My memory of James

I had the blessing of having James as part of my extended family. 

When I first returned to work after a 10 year child-care leave, I had issues with a difficult principal and a district that did not have record of my tenure.  When my unity union leadership gave up on my plight, James came through and solved the issue.  

I became chapter leader under the same difficult principal. I wouldn't have survived without James' input.  James was the most selfless, dedicated union leader I knew in the DOE. He has left a cavernous hole that I hope will be filled. Without challenge and discourse, a powerful union can go astray. 

He was one of a kind. I miss him.
