James's Story
Life
My Spouse
I met my wife in August of 1966, at a wedding of a mutual friend. I knew who she was, but she had always been "Too Young", Well, in 1966 that finally didn't matter any more. She had to leave the wedding early to get back to nursing school. She was going to ride the bus. I suggested she stay for the reception and that I would drive her back to school. That was it. She accepted, and I proposed a year later.
My Pets
We have three cats (Rocky, Chip and Allie), one of whom we rescued from the wild. the cats consider my wife their personal property.

I'm looking forward to retiring for good some day, but for now I'll keep working after 66. sue and I love to travel, and we live an exciting life... She Crochets and I paint. I always loved to draw as a kid, and re-discovered my skills a few years ago. One of my paintings was on display at the state fair this year. I do it strictly for pleasure, not as a profession. For those that remember, I sang in the choir at Mervo, and that has never ended, I still sing today at our church in Baltimore. My other Great love is Flying, earned my private pilots license about 20 years ago. I can't actively fly anymore mainly because of some health issues, but I try to stay current on whats new in aviation. Sue and I spent 10 years helping Manage the Chesapeake Air Show at Martin State Airport. We coordinated all of the aircraft displays. Met some really great people from all over the country and with aircraft from 20 to 70 years old and still operating.
Here's a funny story for you, My Shop teacher at Mervo was Walter Fritts. After I graduated and eventually met my wife who was a student at Union Memorial School of Nursing, Turns out her best pal at the school was Walters Daughter... Small world
