He's one of the originals, I hope it's ok to post this here

Some of you may not have heard that Jim Leonard has terminal cancer. He needs help financially and a link on this website has been set up to sell Jim Leonard T shirts for his benefit: http://www.skiesovertheplains.com/

I wish him and his family well

Jim was a true pioneer in the storm chasing world and was a mentor for many. He will be missed but never forgotten. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. This is tough to hear. I learned so much about chasing from him before the "Twister" days ever existed. He inspired so many with his energy and knowledge of chasing. May he rest in peace.
