While participating in Olympic activities in Austin she met then Gov. George W Bush, and was always proud that she had a photo taken with a future U. S. president. Jamie loved to travel and no doubt visited almost every US state during her 42 years of life. She also loved working on jigsaw puzzles. She would find out what her friends and family liked and would spend countless hours putting puzzles together and framing one for them. Jamie had a generous, loving heart.
