Wishner, Jim Age 61, of Woodbury, MN, passed away

[Omaha Steve]

Jim was the strongest democrat I've ever known. He often gave his time, talent, and $ to many causes most of of can identify with. He was also a solid union man. One hell of a newsman. We haven't seen him since 1998. Marta and I both had a long cry when we got the news. Unfortunately we have a family mater we can't get out of to attend his services Saturday. If your in his area, stop by on our behalf and say hi to his friends & family.

Goodbye Jim.
