Loss of a dear friend


This week, I lost a dear comrade and mentor of 11 years, Jim Schweizer. He was killed in a motorcycle accident while he vacationed in Idaho. Jim was the first person I worked for in a corporate setting back in 1997 at MCN Energy - hired me with not much more than a hunch...we kept in touch through the years although we went our seperate ways....until 2006 when he called with an opportunity to work together again for Dart Oil & Gas Corporation as they were going to open a Ft Worth office. I, of course, accepted. Jim was a loyal man, with a sweet soul and a hard head....the self proclaimed 'bull in a china shop.' I will miss him so very much.
