Hi Jim, What a fantastic website. I really enjoyed looking through your Motown memories, especially with The Supremes. Loved your acting videos and listening to your recordings too, such a beautiful
voice. Thank you for sharing your life with us all.
Much love Jamie and Bob.
Became aware of your name through research on Cindy Birdsong. She wrote letters and sent information to my students back in the 1980s. I took my student council officers to see her at the Jim and
Tammy Bakker television show. I enjoyed your web site it brings back great memories.
Dear Jim,
I sincerely hope you don't mind but I have enjoyed browsing through the wonderful photographs of your flying career. What a marvellous personal archive and treasury of happy memories with the World's
Favourite. I have similarly handed in my wings after twenty years service in the air, but cannot claim to have such a detailed photographic record with which to look back on my career. So, well done,
and wishing you every success in future ventures.
Great site, what a great supremes fan you are...I saw them in 1989 in Swansea on the motor city tour....never forget that night.

I was looking up some old archives in the internet about BOAC when I came across your site which I truly enjoyed. Please accept my apologies for stopping by and looking at your photos.The airline
world was a very magic industry to work in and I must congratulate you on your very interesting portrait of your fascinating life.
I've been living in Switzerland for 37 years and I have had the privilege to work for JAL
and run my own travel business and theatre company. I am also a fan of the Supremes and Motown :))) My very best wishes to you Jim. Adrian
Thank you for a fantastic website.
I only whish it would have been me hugging Sherrie and the other Supreme ladies.
You're a lucky guy Jim.
Best whishes

Hi Jim, you won't remember me from Jumbos in the 70s and Shorthaul in the 80s/90s etc. Just wanted to congratulate you on producing a great website, I loved all of the flying photos and other
memories. Hope you're keeping well, say "hello" to Fiona.
Hi Jim. Your photos brought back a few memories. I stumbled across your site whilst looking for photos of the old Tristar House, which came into use during my time with BA (1975 - 1982). I was on the
747 (White) fleet and appeared on rosters as Graham Masters (aka Rick) I still have my rosters, so I'll have to do a search for your name. I left to become an accountant (yawn). Sadly, have yet to
find any photos of Tristar House. Regards, Rick
Hi Jim,
This is all very interesting. I was drawn to your site whilst looking for any photos of the old Tristar House which came into use during my time with BA (1975 - 1982)
I was on the 747 (white)fleet and appeared on rosters as Graham Masters (Rick) and made Steward 1 before leaving to become an accountant.
Your photos brought back many memories. Thanks.
Still can't find any shots of Tristar House, though!
All the best
Rick
Wow Jim! What an EXCELLENT site you have! I just happened to run across it searching for more information on the late Ronnie Pereira. I'm very impressed with your background and involvement with
Motown in the UK. I have always also been a Motown junkie, ever since my youth when I got the bug in mid-1960s. My online name is MotownLover on the Motown forum at www.soulfuldetroit.com. You are
truly blessed in so many ways. Best wishes to you and your future enjoyment in your retirement years.
Well hello Jim. This is all very wonderful. What a fabulous site. I know I'm going to have the best time joining in your fun. Lots love your friend in Motown Sharon x
Takes me back Jim,December 8th 1969,course 292!!
I retired in 2007 after 38 years,don't miss it!
Loved the first 25 years,then it all changed as we all know.
Now almost 65,married 40 years this week,go to Spain a lot as we have an apartment on the costa del sol,for the last 30yrs.
Enjoyed your web site.
Can't make the reunion in June.
How many of our course are left?
Wow Jim, I can't believe it's you. You may not remember me but somewhere I have photos of you and I at the Duomo in Milan.
I'm a CSD now, ha, still on shorthaul! Done 30 years in August; I was an 'ET'! Do you remember us new recruits? Only a few of us left. I've been in touch with Mark about the reunion in June but do I
need a ticket? Would be great to see you there. Very best regards, Kerry Stanley
Some lovely memories of BOAC/BA, thank you
A fascinating website Jim. Well done indeed! A man of many talents! What a fantastic feeling to be able to sing with the celebrities! Good for you and it will stand you in good stead for your future
career as a singer extraordinaire! I shall look forward to hearing your new album :) All the best, Laurie.
Wonderful work Jim and such a huge achievement! I always loved flying with you - we shared many laughs and happy times together. I look forward to catching up with you later this year xxx
Thanks for sharing so many more of your memories with us! I really enjoy your facebook gems of the past and look forward to watching many more!
Hi Jim...Happy New Year...Its always good to hear from you...Your website is wonderful...great idea and look forward to seeing your updates. All is well here,no end in sight of me retiring,will
probably end up working the aisles with the help of a zimmer frame..Nearly 39 years of flying now..did 11 years at BA and now 28 years at Delta ( via the mergers of Republic Airlines and Northwest
)...Its been a couple of years since you were here in LA so hope you can make it over here this year.......Best Wishes ..Nigel Serieux
Hi Jim,
I came across you website on the retired BA crew website run by Mark (Hardy,) and spent a very enjoyable hour having a look through it. Where has all the time gone eh? I have been retired since 2000
and am now nearer 70 than 60, but I`m still fit and well and busy as ever running two development companies. You still look as fit as a fiddle and appear to have a happy and busy life. Anyhoo Jim, it
was great seeing some old familiar faces on your website which definitely stirred some very happy memories for me, happy daze indeed. good luck and I wish you have a very merry Chrismas and a
prosperous and health 2013.
Very kind regards,
Joe Frame, (CSD)Retired.
Jim, your friendship is undying. How I so much appreciate you. Thank you for being in my life for the few years you have.
Hi Jim, I can remember flying with you. Great to have seen your website.
I am still very busy running Dreamflight which has now been going for 26 years. Have just written a book called "My Dream Flights" First part my flying for 39 years and the second part is the history
of Dreamflight
Hi Jim
Wonderful website, I've thoroughly enjoyed looking around it. What an interesting life you've led! I especially enjoyed videos and photos.
Hi
I have just Found you on SoundCloud. Enjoyed looking at your pics with the Supremes and susaye green
THANKyou
Hi, Jim,
Yesterday an unusual event happened that led me to your web page. While enjoying a bicycle ride along the beach here in sunny SoCal, “Ron Pereira” came into my thoughts so strong, it was as if I had
passed him on the bike path. Fond memories from long ago came flooding back of Ron and Bruce. Ron’s voice started echoing the long forgotten nickname he’d coined for me 25 years ago, ringing
repeatedly until I rushed home to Google Ron and Bruce.
I was stunned and saddened when a trail of web links led me to Ron’s memorial tribute video you had posted here.
Yesterday’s date was significant to Ron and Bruce, as well as those who attended Ron’s Memorial Service.
I am certain you wouldn't remember meeting me, as I was painfully shy and awkward in my young days, but Bruce, Ron, you, and Peter… without question are among the most admirable and kindest people I
ever met along my life journey. I wish so much that my life path would have afforded me the chance to have been closer to you all and experienced your friendships from the inside and for a lifetime.
Ron and Bruce literally changed my life forever and I have always been and always will be so grateful for the privilege of having met you all, albeit ever too briefly.
May all life’s best be with you all. You are one of the reasons I believe in angels.

Jim, What a fantastic job! Enjoyed every minute of it. All our best, Alan and Tommy
