I met James Fantroy, when he was visiting another Dallas City Hall legend, Al Lipscomb at St. Paul Hospital years ago. James was a great man, had a couple of problems, but who does'nt while in public office. He made a huge difference in the southern sector, period. I have always respected him and I still respect Al Lipscomb for standing up to what he believes is right. God Bless James. Hang in there Al!
