Hi Dale I remember going to Moss Vale with one of my first runners as a wet-behind-the-ear 19 year old trainer and Jimmy was the kennel attendant then He was so good to me and asked me about me, my dogs and anything else and of course we got onto soccer as he was an-ex Australian goalkeeper ,my family were very heavily in the Marconi Club at the time and he knew all the top Marconi players. I only ever had 2 or 3 dogs in training at a time but in 35 odd years he never forgot my name whenever I went to Bulli or Dapto when he was working Just a really nice bloke and I can truly say, the mould was broken when Jim was born. They don't come like Jim everyday.
