.I'm wondering if Jim is the step-brother of Nick Roberts, class of '61. I remember Nick 's dad married someone while we were in high school who had a son whose name, I think, was Jim Cuffe. Hm. I wondered why Jim never joined our "class" on these pages. Sue's note would explain it.

Jim and I dated throughout our senior year. He was a sweet, funny kind and gentle soul. Yes, his step bro was Nick Roberts, tho they were never close. I saw him at Foothill our first year there, but being in nursing school kept me at the far end of campus and too busy to do anything but study. I wondered what had happened to him, and am grateful, tho sad,to see his obit. RIP, my dear one. Your Pam
