Jimmy was a mess. We were in Travis Elementary together and the teachers LOVED to seat all of us in alphabetical order. I would just crenge because Cole and Coody were always side by side. This meant that whenever I got up to sharpen my pencil, he would steal my eraser. If I went to the black board, he would take my paper. He was always "bothering" me. But because of this, we wound up being good friends. If he got into trouble I would try to "save" him as best I could and let him copy off my paper if he were in a jam. Of course, half the time I didn't have the correct answer but at least it was an answer.
It was a pleasure to be a member of "Cole and Coody". I miss hearing about Jimmy!
