Illini Statesmen

This morning, the Illini Statesmen lost one of our dearest friends. Jim Graham passed away early on Tuesday, February 5th, 2008. Jim shared his love of barbershop with all of us, young and old, for many years. He was a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society for 42 years, past president of the Illinois District, director of the Illinois District Endowment Assurance fund, member of the Sandpiper Chorus in Florida, and more. But above all of that, he was one of the most cheerful, personable, and dedicated gentlemen we had the pleasure to harmonize with. We'll miss Jim sorely.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Dorothy and the family.
