Older folks here will remember Jim, class of 71, who was a multi-sport star at Capuchino High in San Bruno before coming to Stanford and starting at FS as a sophomore. One of the few DBs in college who could bring down OJ Simpson from behind, he passed away recently after a long illness.
In addition to bring one of the best all-around Stanford athletes of that era, Jim was a talented writer and just a refreshing person to know. He and his wife had lived in Italy for many years where he had become involved with an exchange program at the University of Syracuse.
Jim was one of a kind. I know a lot of old Indian and Cardinal hearts join me in wishing our best to his family.
