Readers were glad to read about the retired Jim Franz.

Good Guy

Always fun keeping up with Jim Franz [“He’s Not Done Yet,” May]. All sounds well. Jim, continue to dance and play through life.

Love knowing all these about you. Your first love was music and performing. It must have been some very good force that led you to compassionate community service.  I see you also as one of the pillars that started Alameda’s involvement with Sister City International.  I personally benefited from your guidance and support with the formalization of the Alameda-Dumaguete Sister City with the Philippines.

Just wanted to let you know I liked the TMS [transcranial magnet stimulation] article in Alameda Magazine [“Stimulating the Brain When Pills Don’t Work,” April]. Thanks.
