We all on Alston Street met James "Wicky" McDougal when we were in high school. I don't remember where he came from and I can't pinpoint when he left. But we remember Wicky because of his heavy voice and his pronunciation of the words 32. He was so precise. But he fit right in with us. I can't remember if he graduated with us but as he so joined us in our life as teenagers, he suddenly left and I have never heard of him again until this day. How wonderful to know that he had a full life with loved ones and he lived to a ripe age. I remember Wicky.
Rest in peace
To Edith, children and family, I am so saddened to hear of the passing of James. He was such a nice and fun loving person. My condolences to all the family. He will be truly missed. Patsy,
