James's Story
Life
After graduation from high school, I traveled for a while in the southern part of the country. It's amazing how we thought we knew so much but, when I realized how little I knew and the lack of life experiences, I went back to school for 5 more years, Met the love of my life and married. We lived all through the south and ended up in Louisville Kentucky. It was like I remembered Chicago when we were growing up. Not anymore. But, It's still like Chicago with the murders and crime. I was smart and bought 20 acres of land 45 miles west of there in a small town of 1200 where I still live. I worked over the years as a designer on TV commercials, movies and events. I was in the carpenters and millwrights' union for many years. At this time after 22 years, I still hold a Union Card with the Motion Picture Union working as an electrician, a carpenter and props master. I did lighting and built sets on TV shows, commercials and Motion Pictures most of the time. N...Expand for more
ow when I'm not working, I spend my time at home on my property trying to develop it into a small family farm in Mauckport Indiana. With the knowledge I acquired over the years I designed and built my house I live in, my shop and my barn with a couple friends and some outside earth moving equipment help.. I can't complain. I think for the most part I've had a good life. I'm healthy, active and still able to work and own my own company that supplies generators and power distribution systems for TV commercials, concerts, special events and small movies. It's hard to believe life has gone so quick. Unfortunately, I am no longer married. I try to keep myself busy and stay out of trouble. If any of my old friends would be interested in contacting me or catching up, I'm in the local phone book for Corydon Indiana. It would be fun to hear your tales and see what you've been doing the past 50+ years? My best to you all. My moto; '' LIVE LIFE HARD AND LIVE IT LONG''
