He posted as jotomp. His name was Jim Shults. I talked to him a good bit preparing to do his Timeless Voices Interview and about things here and there on WIX. He struck me as a really nice guy. He worked in mission control during the Apollo era. I just found out today of his passing. Thought I would let everyone know.

Sad to hear of his passing. Prayers go out for him and his family.

Jim had posted a lot of great black and white photos form the 70's good stuff!
Catch them while you can.
