AE 21 ys.

James Michael "Jemo" (pronounced Gee-moe)Adams, from Mansfield, OH, a senior and a guard for the Marshall University Football Team, died in a chartered jet airliner crash.

He was the son of Mr. & Mrs. Hysen (stepfather) and Georgene Selman.

He had a daughter who was born a week after the crash, on the day that he was buried. Her name is Patty Smith. He and Patty's mother were very young and knew it would be best to put their baby up for adoption. She searched for years, finally finding her roots in 2002 and met Jim's parents and then her birth mother. Since then, they have grown to know and love one another and Patty is getting to know her birth father through them. The families now share a wonderful relationship.
