Jim was a whirlwind who cared

Jim was a whirlwind who cared about parks and the environment and got amazing things done. I mostly knew him from the Conservation Commission meetings where he would report on amazing things his Department had accomplished since the last time we saw him and then dash off on his missions. Jim and Bredesen doubled the size of Frozenhead and Fall Creek Falls state parks and corrected the travesty that is Martha Sundquist State Forest into an actual state forest. That's just a part of Jim's legacy. I could go on and on and on.

Under Jim Fyke TDEC worked for the lasting benefit of the people of Tennessee. I think we would have a hard time believing something like that today.
