Hi Louise. While I can't help you with a photo of Jim, I will be meeting you at the WRAB conference next week. Roger Graves, Boba Samuels, Judi Jewinski and I will be giving a presentation on a major study we have been involved in on writing in the disciplines across Canada. Perhaps we can meet at some point in the conference! Theresa.
