Jim Thomson of Thomson & Son Bagpipes in Flagstaff, Arizona passed away over the weekend at his hotel while attending the Tuscon Games.
Jim played pipes for over 50 years and was a well known figure in the southwest as a retailer who traveled to most of the regional games and also had quite a large customer base in the western USA. Jim also ran the week-long United States School of Piping every July at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.
WUSPBA organization wishes to extend its condolences to Jim's family and friends.
