Jimmy's widow, Marybeth CRAIG, sent me his obituary and a booklet containing the story of his life from the time he left Yellville as a child and hitchhiked t the School of the Ozarks where he received his education, spent 4 years in the Army and made quite a success of his life in the business world, as well as raising (along with Marybeth) their two children.
