Mary
Thank you for posting that information. Jim was a wonderful historian and I 
 talked to him several times when I was in Roswell restoring Barrington  
Hall.
Ironically I just ordered 2 of his books from Amazon to replace two that  
were lost in the move.

Very sad  and sudden news of our dear friend, Jim Cothran: author,  
landscape
architect and professor, who passed away Sunday, Jan 28. Jim had  a sudden
attack of lung cancer that was so swift that within less than five  days of
its diagnosis, he left us. Jim is well known for his *Gardens of  Historic
Charleston*, *Historic Plants of the Antibellum South* and most  recently,
the *Charleston Gardens of Loutrell Briggs*. I will send a better  obituary
when it is released. Jim was chief of landscape architecture and  planning
at Robert and Company, Atlanta. He was 72.

A memorial  service is planned at the Cherokee Garden Library in Atlanta on
Friday or  Saturday, February 3 or 4. Jim was the Acquisitions Chair  for
decades.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary Palmer  Dargan,ASLA
