Remembering Jim Rispoli

To the editor:

In praise and gratitude for how Jim Rispoli encouraged me as a Jacob Brown Ambassador from another time. A character I developed to share our love of Brown County.

Jim was first to post my flyer and schedule of walking tours of Nashville. He put on the Coke machine outside. He boosted my confidence and his smile made the people I took or sent to the Carmel Corn Cottage. We knew it would be quality and how he greeted them would be a fun time.

From 2002 to 2010 while we took people on tours Jim had our backs and delighted attention

An ambassador of goodwill and dancing spirit — no hidden gem here.

Thanks Jim and your staff.

Pete Sebert, formerly of Brown County
