From the Kibble Valley Drama Festival Committee


Jimmy? It would take a book to cover the many facets of his character - actor, author, poet, racon­ teur, individualist, human­ itarian - the list is endless. It can. h ow ev e r, be summed up in four words "Jimmy was a character,” and there is a shortage of characters in the world today. We will ever remember

him as our excellent chair­ man. but most of till as our friend. His over-riding characteristics were his zest for life and sense of fun - those we will never forget. We will miss him as will
