Unsung Hero # 8
Atlanta has any number of unsung heroes and today we salute one of them.
Jim Lane is the facilities manager for the Fox Theatre. If you have a child who got home safely from either the Widespread Panic concert or the prom, you have Jim to thank.
He’s a real pro. He gets impossible work done quickly and easily. He’s cheerful about it, and weather does not stop him. Most of us could not load a 2 ton crystal glass sculpture into a ballroom with no elevator in the rain, but Jim can.
If you see a guy running around in front of the Fox, trying to make sure that the homeless guy doesn’t go hungry but leaves you alone, that the jazz musicians get loaded in to Churchill Grounds, that the College Students make it safely back into their limo and don’t get mixed up with the Ballet Fans say hey to Jim and thank him.
He’s a cultural institution that protects one.
