Farewell to Jimmy

This page is dedicated to the memory of
JAMES PAUL CORKREN, JR.

A wonderful old friend; his family was like my own.

Still cutting up after all these years It was certainly very sad news today to hear of Jimmy's passing last night in Birmingham, AL. His family is bringing him home to Memphis.
~God bless you all~

Kim's: 2010

Bobby & I took a road trip in July to MS & TN to visit family & friends. These pix are in reverse order; the 1st stop was Charles & Lesley's in MS; 2nd stop was Graceland; the last stop on our trip was at my sister, Kim's and Lumpy's. It was so good to see everyone!

Graceland: July 2010

I took Bobby to Graceland on our way to my sister's. It was my 3rd time at Graceland but Bobby's first. This tour was quite different than the ones I did in the 70's and more rooms were open. The upstairs is still closed & always will be.

These awards & gold records, etc. literally fill the walls inside Elvis's racquet ball court. It's pretty amazing when you see it all like this. Plus there were many more inside the house.

It's still sad to know he's gone

Charles's: July 2010

Our first stop; We wanted to meet our new baby Emma and couldn't wait to see & hold the twins again. And of course, it was great to see Charles & Lesley with their growing family.
