[Magdalen] R.I.P. Our brother Jim Guthrie

[Christopher Hart]

I had occasion to meet Jim in person several times, mainly listmeets. Oddly
enough the last time I saw him was at a funeral, for Cynthia McFarland.
I've already missed his presence in the pub and now will hear him no longer
in Facebook either. His railroad knowledge was extraordinary. May he Rest
in Peace.
