Great Scot, Jamie Thomson lived 104 grand years of adventure!
Jamie started his life on May 20, 1909, on the high-plains of Montana in the days of the Wild West on the family ranch outside of Fort Benton. He left this world in peace and serenity on June 13, 2013, in Boise, Idaho.
Jamie was a sportsman all his life. He was general manager for the Boise Braves, a farm team of the Milwaukee Braves professional baseball team (now the Atlanta Braves). It was a family affair at the old ballpark on Walnut Street with his three sons working as scoreboard operator, clubhouse boy and shagger. He continued to scout for various baseball teams throughout the years. A special memory for him was to make an annual pilgrimage with his sons to Baseball Spring Training in Arizona.
