Re: James N. Gillum

Jim Gillum's passing will be a great los to his family, of course, and to a 
host of other people, including members of the Norfolk & Western Historical 
Society.

He had so many wonderful qualities, including his Christian faith, his 
integrity, his devotion to his family, his work ethic, his friendliness, 
his organizational and leadership abilities, and his many years of 
dedicated service to the N&WHS.  We will miss him in so many ways, but we 
should be thankful for the privilege of having known him as long as we did.
