NOTES:

“Thank You for honoring my best friend. I was with Jim the day he died. We were responding to the call together in my car when debris from the explosion struck my car killing Jim and injuring me, albeit minor injuries. God bless James D. Olson, he was a good man and had a bright future ahead of him, if not for that fateful day. “
