Jim Colborn and I attended college together. We both played basketball, but he was a year ahead of me despite both being born in the same year. While in the military I visited with him and his wife late one night after his team had completed a double header, inviting me to their home. While I was overseas in the combat zone on an aircraft carrier he was one of a few fellow students and the only jock who wrote me a letter. The guy is a class act start-to-finish. And oh yeah, he was not a bad athlete as well.
