My dear friend Jim Langley passed away on April 12 and was buried with military honors on April 16, 2021. Jim was a combat Veteran of the Air Force in Vietnam where he flew B-52's and later flew B-52 for the Strategic Air Command, ready to deploy nuclear weapons at a minutes notice. Jim never met a stranger, and when he became your friend he became your friend for life. He was a great friend of the Model A hobby owning at times Model A's and Early V8 Fords. He was very active in the River Cities Model A Ford Club in Columbus, Georgia, serving as its President for four different terms. He collected and restored license plates. He wrote and published a book on the car dealerships in Columbus from 1903. He had a ready to publish book on the Pontiac Motor Corporation. He was a frequent contributor to Ford Barn and our Clubs Newsletter. He was a very dedicated Ford Historian answering questions about the Ford Motor Company and constantly doing research on the subject. We have lost a great friend of the hobby, may he rest in peace.

Al Lugo, President, River Cities Model A Ford Club, Columbus, GA
