  • Aloha to all who read Jim's story. My name is Laurel and I work for Jim's son, Peter, here in beautiful Kona Hawaii. "Pete" has a very successful residential design business here and he has been teaching me to draw for the past couple years. He is a loving family man and a wonderful boss! I wish Pete and his family all things well :*) and I will be keeping a close eye on the website forum and the continuation of Jim's story.
