You can express your condolences here on New Tacoma Cemetery’s home page; or here in an article in The Suburban Times about Jim where a number of Lakewood City officials and others shared their thoughts, appreciation and love for Jim.

Tacoma greed is at full speed.
I recently received notice from the City of Lakewood regarding a Public Hearing to consider a Resolution expressing opposition to the City of Tacoma’s Proposition No. 3. If you are a Tacoma Power customer living in the City of Lakewood, I encourage you to attend the hearing.

It is fair to say that any one of us, including me, can be guilty of illiterate expression. Conversely, most of us are not charged with the professional responsibility of teaching language arts to our children. It seems to me we should not tolerate Clover Park Schools teaching our youth, by example, how to be illiterate.

Jim Taylor is very, very ill and I think sometimes we feel in crises like this that we wait too long to say the things that need to be said and so here, on behalf of the Tillicum community Jim:
We love you.

“What emergency are you reporting?” asked the 9-1-1 dispatcher.
“Uh, well, it’s not necessarily an emergency but I’m hoping the fire department can help me.”
“O.K. I’ll transfer you to fire and while I do that can you tell me what’s going on?”

At the end of Part 3, I was hoofing it across the sandy beach when my escape was blocked by a 6’ cyclone fence with three strands of barbed wire on top. It might have been electric barbed wire for all I know. Remember, this is Chicago.

Today was our 66th mile together rowing a double on American Lake.
Daughter Christina Klas and I began this past June 24, our goal just to row the three-and-a-half-mile course which we initially halved by stopping at the far turn and catching our breath.

National Night Out’s (NNO) baseball game between the Lakewood Baseball Club’s Pinto Division Champion Tillicum Crushers and their parents was so fun, so outstanding, and so incredibly important at so many levels.
If only somehow we could capture – and that is the intent here in writing this – the far-reaching difference a simple three-inning exhibition game can – and will – have for all of life for all concerned.
