I remember Jim Straight called Lunk "young man" so long ago, when he first saw Lunk meticulously gridding a known gold area in the northern Nevada desert. The first and only time I met Jim Straight, was at a gold show in southern California. At that time he was carrying his tiny new granddaughter in his arms. Great memories! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhaseTech Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 So sad to hear this. Jim was one of a handful of guys who went out of their way to help me out when I was a keen rookie with many curly questions. I hope he knew how much he was respected.

snakejim Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I never met Jim in person, but had corresponded with him many times over the years. I have many of his books. He will be sorely missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seden1954 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I wrote Jim last November and when he wrote me back he said to keep in touch. He never had said that to me before and now I see why. Oh how I wish I had gone over to his house, I sure will miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dain Blackburn Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Jim was a friend of mine. The picture is from 2003 out in the Randsburg Ca. area. My son who is 21 now, Jim and I. He will be missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
