James's Story
I have traveled the world over since high school. Recently retired from the NEA after 27 years with AEA, the Arkansas affiliate. Divorced twice. Now married to the most wonderful woman in the world. I have three children by my first marriage whom I adore. All three have been very successful. I have one grandchild that I would give my life for. My goal in life is to push him to the very limits of his capabilities, and if he is like his grandpa he will not allow any opportunity, that will make him successful in life pass him by.
I always wanted to be a LAWYER when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a GREAT idea. As it turns out, they were RIGHT.
I always wanted to be a TEACHER when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a BAD idea. As it turns out, they were RIGHT.
HOT BATH, A GLASS OF WINE AND A GOOD BOOK.
MY ENGLISH TEACHER, MRS. BRUCE.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is ARIANNA CLARK, because I LIKED HER.
I AM OBSESSED WITH THE CABLE NEWS CHANNELS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FOX. ALTHOUGH ...Expand for more
I DO WATCH SOMETIMES FOR A VERY SHORT TIME
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel NOTHING and add on a GAZEBO. My dream home would be WHAT I ALREADY OWN..
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
If I won $100 million, I'd give MUCH of it to MY CHURCH AND CHARITIES OF MY CHOICE, then spend the rest on INVESTMENTS , MY GRANDCHILD'S EDUCATION and BUY NEW HOMES FOR ALL OF MY CHILDREN AND MY FIRST WIFE..
My current age is 67. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be ANCIENT/SENILE AND IMMOBILE. I was so completely WRONG.
My best friend would tell you I'm THE MOST DOWN TO EARTH AND THE NICEST GUY IN THE WORLD, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as SNOBBISH AND ALOOF.
I TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES. I BELIEVE I WAS VOTED THE BEST DRESSED IN EASTERN ARKANSAS BY THE DELTA SORORITY IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. I DONT REALLY FOLLOW THINGS LIKE THAT.
I share my home with MY WIFE, which I find ADORABLE.
In 10 years, I hope to be IN GOOD HEALTH. I'm going to get there by KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH ON MY HEALTH, DIET AND EXERCISE.
