I thought alot of Lynn, he hired me to scout his cotton back in my scouting days , he also hired me two winters in the off season of scouting and I helped him work on his equipment when he had his shop by Lee Wilson’s & Cos Gin. He carried me and Gary Dawson fishing at Corona several times and the man could finesse a crappie out of the tree top like nobody else , and the last thing I remember he introduced me to Jackson Browns music , 🎵 the pretender 😊, God Speed Lynn James, prayers for the family
