I just learned from Jimmy Blouch that Jim Ozment passed away today. I am sure Jimmy will have details when he feels like writing.
I feel very fortunate to have known Jim for too, too short three years. In that short time he shared many photos, pages and pages of his personal memories, and hours and hours of talking into my tape recorder. My snow fighting books will be dedicated to Jim Ozment, Frank Wright, and Clarence Russell...who all loved the Rio Grande RR and loved sharing their experiences. You will be deeply missed Jim. Wish I would have had more time with you as I learned so much each time.
