Congrats Jim! You are a keeper indeed!

I remember ice skating at the Coliseum several years ago and did a doubletake after hearing a very familiar voice. It was Jim, and I stopped to tell him congratulations on his recent marriage to Mimi. Jim was so sweet - he introduced me to Mimi and his daughter - all the while trying valiantly to keep himself and Taylor upright!
Congratulations, Jim!
