Jim Tankersley, Houston

Jim Tankersley (James Nathan Tankersley) passed away September 9, 2007, at the age of 77. I knew him as a French Horn player--he was principal in the Houston Symphony when I was a freshman music student at the University of Houston in 1967-68. He was a superb horn player, but left the field because of the pressures of his job (it's not easy to play a French Horn solo in front of a thousand or more people, especially when you're playing with one of the top 10 symphonies in the country).
