Had a rather disturbing rumor come up here... Does anybody know Jim Hughes?
 
Is that the Jim Hughes of First Solar?
 
The rumor is true. Jim Hughes of Mesa, Arizona. Long time member of DCTRA passed away in his sleep the other night. We are presently awaiting information on services.
 
That sucks. He was from this area and he and I would have long talks from time to time. I really could truly call him a friend. When the arrangements are settled please let me know. Everybody here knew him and cared for him so we're pretty torn up here.

Jody,

How about a little more information? And what is "DCTRA"?
