Remembering Jim Peterson I’ve been a little sad this past week – I lost one of my new friends from the River. Meeting Jim Peterson – the 90-year-old ‘River Rat’ from Vermillion, SD, was one of the many joys of my 2016 Trip/Adventure. He was a delight to visit with, we rapidly became friends, and I got to see him at least three more times last summer on my ’17 returns to the River. Jim died last Tuesday (6/26), and I’ve been thinking of him with joy, as well as sadness. If you have the book, you can re-visit his story on page 121. If not, you can read it here. I’m also sharing his obituary, which contains stuff I never knew about him! (He helped Ken Burns with part of his Lewis and Clark series!*)
