Hi Jeremy, I'm the marketing manager at Farmers Market and just want to thank you for the nice story about Jim. He really is an artisan and we were thrilled to have him as part of our Fall Festival. One correction though: the Fall Festival was at the Farmers Market (no apostrophe), not at The Grove. Although we are neighbors and we designed the properties so that pedestrian traffic would flow between the two seamlessly, we are run independently and Jim was contributing to a Farmers Market event that has been a tradition for over seventy years. Just wanted to make that clarification. Thanks again for the nice story.

It is Jim Olson and I never said he was 32-years-old. I said he is a 32-year resident of Los Angeles. I guess proof reading doesn't extend to comments either.

so confused... is it Jim Morris or Jim Olson? and who bought the tale that he is 32? I guess proofreaders get Sunday off...
