Re: Jim Cothran, author landscape architect passed away Sunday, Jan 28

Yes, he was amazing and has hordes of slides! Jim was working on a book
about *Historic Cemeteries: Oasis by Design,* his book research assistant
Erica Danylchak has the back matter. The fund being set up at the Cherokee
Garden Library is a great way to remember him and help with his archives,
publications, etc....
