Could be, I'm not sure. It was a Casey's but then the owner didn't like paying a franchise fee so she made it Char's.
And then Casey's moved back in across the street.

That's no small feat.He was a great coach. he kept Johnny under control
I am sure I have nothing additional to contribute to this thread, but a real gentleman, respected everybody, always had time for you. World would be a much better place if everybody was like Jim.I personally met him thru the Iowa Games. Salt of the earth.

Yeah, if you ever watched. During timeouts, etc. Hallihan would be talking to the team while Johnny was over chewing on the refs. I think Jim did most of the play schemes and Johnny meshed with the players to get them to listen and run the plays. It seemed to work passably well.That was my general impression. Johnny was the spirit of the team. Jim was nuts and bolts.
That says it all right there.When I first started at ISU I worked at the convenience store (Casey's then) way down south on Duff. Jim lived in that neighborhood and he was in a lot. He was always a really nice guy to the guys working there. We would ask about the team and he always spent a moment talking with us.
Anybody know if he had been sick?

He had cancer and had gone through a pretty aggressive treatment. The docs thought he had beat it and gave him the all clear. Sadly, it came back at the beginning of November and hit Jim hard and quickly. Surprised everyone how fast it all happened.Anybody know if he had been sick?
