Jim Durgin was a wonderful person who touched the lives of more people than he ever realized. From his work at Custom-Pak, in Clinton, to all the organizations and people he touched directly or indirectly with his love over the years, what a beautiful difference he made. Jim & Pauline Durgin have been Honorary Board Members of Camp Courageous. The next building to be constructed at Camp, a pavilion, will bear their names. Just a week before his death he called and asked if he could help camp with a copier we needed. Such a wonderful person…he will be dearly missed….. Charlie Becker
