The shy and studious James, was described as unassuming, but magnetic, a born leader and a keen judge of man unassuming, yet in his quiet way exerting a strong influence over his fellows...a dominating personality. Temperamentally, he was the polar opposite of the outgoing, effervescent Helen. However, behind his stiff mien lay an idealistic nature and a keen sense of humor. Their marriage was described as a perfect partnership of equals, and Mr. Storrows biographer claimed that no two people ever saw more completely eyetoeye on all the things that count.
