Old Scouters

One should always follow ones intuition when it comes to friends.  A long time Scouter, and friend of mine has been on my mind.  I even mentioned him to Zachary the other day and said we should go for a visit soon.  Well, now I have heard that Jim is in the hospital and has been for two weeks.  He had surgery today, but I am determined to stop in and see him tomorrow.  He is a one of the kind intelligent caring man.  As a very small child Zachary used to follow Jim around the Scout House.  Jim taught him how to tie a square knot.  When I tried to show him how I did it he said, "You are not doing it right! The right way is the way Mr. Long does it!"  So, now as I think on all the good memories and long talks we used to have I am sad that I didn't pick up the phone and call the other day.  At the very least I might have found out he was in the hospital and would have dropped in for a visit.  I will make that visit tomorrow!
