Jim Caldwell:  

Have lived in Colemna, Tx, for 51 plus years. Am married to Linda Rhea; have 3 children, Cathy, 46, Jim B. III, 45, and Joe, 40, who died 10 years ago of a staph infection in a hospital in Anchorage, Alaska. Have 5 grandkids, ages from 13 to 23. Have 1 great grand- daughter as of Jan, 2015. Have owned and operated a retail pharmacy for the last 50 years. Purchased Cross Pharmacy 50 years ago in Coleman, and after 10 years purchased Owl Drug Store in Coleman; merged the 2 stores into a really top pharmacy. Linda and I are both pharmacists, both graduating from UT in 1962. On first date, I asked Linda how she spelled her middle name, Rhea; her answer was that it was the last 4 letters of "diarrhea"! Also, on same night, as usual, I was trying to be a "stud", and purchased a huge cigar at counter in resturant; sat down and lit it; I was not a smoker. Linda got up and went back to same counter and purchased the identical cigar and started smoking it. Same night, I took her home to her dorm, and she asked to see my "muscle"! I flexed up right arm at front door of dorm, and she felt my head! Couldn't get to my car fast enough..remember, 1958 Golden Adventurer DeSota. Just remodeled our pharmacy inside and out, and plan on another 20-25 years!. I love my patients, customers, employees, and the job, and just can't seem to get out. Our fountain is one of three left in the state of Texas...Expand for more
