Nice to see Jim French remembered for the tough little guy he was ...

I worked for Campo at that time, and I remember Jim well as an energetic little putz and a biter ... But a real tryer ... I hotwalked him back then when Zito was but a loud mouthed groom for the Fatman ...

I left Campo's barn to go back to school, but a vist there probably during the ownership debacle revealed something unusual ....

Jim French was imprisoned in his stall, under guard by a gaggle of unsmiling Pinkertons ... No one was allowed near him, and nobody was saying nothin' ...

For me, it was great to see his name come up, as I knew him and was quite fond of him ...
