Notice the ship items? Those are all props from the movie Titanic that JR was able to hang onto after his working for the movie production as a head
carpenter... He had a museum display of them for some time in Rosarito.

To all the "Nomads" who've posted regarding JR I thank you more than I'm able to express for the sympathy and more importantly, your understanding of
who my brother really was. As I read your posts I find that I'm learning more about him too. As most of you know, he was an adventurer, in the old
sense of the word, extraordinaire. I don't know how forthcoming he might have been w/his personal history, but for any who are interested I'll be
putting together a brief biography soon, mostly for old friends and relatives, but available to any of you, as well.
I've met only very few of you, but from reading your recent posts and from hearing JR's stories and rants about the site, I know I'm going to have
to explore his world, albeit tardily. Thanks again, Bruce

Mike - Thanks for confirming that this all works. Is there a limit to the size of a post on this forum?

No, only if you attach photographs... then they must be under 50 KBS.
Thank you for doing this Bruce... JR was quite the man here on Nomad... we butted heads a few times, but in person we were always friends. I hope
Carol is doing well and she should feel free to make any needs of hers known. Many of us live in Southern California, so we can get to La Barca
without much problem.
My email is info*at*vivabaja.com should there be anything you need from me, 'off the air'.

Bruce, Thanks for telling me about this site. I had no idea. I'd like to throw in some tid bits of our "adventures" growing up etc. for the
biography. From what I've read Jay made a lasting impression on a lot of people..... but then again.... thats JR. Can't believe he's gone.
Carol, my thoughts and prayers are with you. talk to you soon.

Our condolences to Carol and the rest of the family. We are sorry that we were never able to get 'face time' with JR. More then once we made tentative
plans, but......
We will miss his travel stories and great photos of places we long to visit. We will miss the anticipation of opening up a post he authored and
watching it's development. He had a way of getting your attention.
His, and Carol's, desire to give of themselves and help the people of Baja is an inspiration to all.
Rest in peace JR!

Toward the end JR used to talk about falling out of a swing, when he was 20, and hurting his neck. He blamed his worsening illness on this event.
Do you know what he was talking about?
