Jim's wife will let me help publish memoirs

Jim would have resisted having his memoirs published while he was alive... he wasnt just humble. He was an anti-egotist if there is such a word. Sadly due to our loss his memoirs can now be published. There are many people who would love to help Jim's dear wife Rosemary publish his work but I have volunteered to help get it all moving. Many options are popping up... self publishing, a small publisher, but most logical and most suting it would be for ABC books to publish his book... that is my goal working with Jim's family over the next few weeks.

11 year old reader of Washington Times

With the young ladies permission I have reproduced an interaction between her and I to illustrate the power of a positive story. ------------- Nov 15, 2009 ------------------- Dear Mr. Richardson, Hi how are you doing on this blessed day? My name is AM. I am an 11 year old and my mommy read to me about you in the newspaper - The Washington Times . My grandfather inspired me to be a surgical doctor and now you inspired me not just to be a doctor but also an entrepreneur. My question to you is how to be an entrepreneur. I love when a newspaper is talking about you but you are talking about other people, like your wife, the staff at your company and the shareholders. Also what are shareholders? Thank you so much for inspiring me and reading my correspondence. Your new friend, AM ------------ Here is my reply ------------- Dear AM, What a bright and courteous young lady you are. From your letter it sounds like you will be able to do whatever you set your mind to. Your mum must sure be pr

Jim Revitt (1931-2009)

Just moments ago I got off the phone with Jim's oldest boy David who had just told me that Jim had passed away. What a terrible loss. Just a few weeks ago he was singing support for me on the Australian Story Episode "The Big Deal"... and here he is now... gone. Jim has been battling a string of bad conditions that seemed to be relentlessly ganging up on him over the last few weeks. A failing kidney, pneumonia and then heart problems. I saw him Wed week ago when he was having a real tough time. My heart went out to him and his dear girl Rowe as they battled the distress of severe health damage. I'm flying to Sydney tomorrow and will try to console my friends loyal family. But I for one will surely miss my old mate Jim.
