I walked into the Fort last summer after an absence of many years and when Jim saw me he approached me and said to me, Sir, you're out of uniform! I was shocked that he remembered me. In years past, I portrayed Lt. James Gorrell, 60th Regiment of Foot at the fort. We had a long chat to catch up and I must say, it was truly like going back home.

My family and I got to meet him when we visited in 2003. A wonderful man.
Jim is the heart of Mackinac State Historic Parks.
