JAMES L. 'JIM''s Story
My legal name is James Lee Maze Jr but I went by Jim Maze all through my school years and after. In addition to Maryland's Howard High School, 9th-11th grades, I attended Buena Park High School and Saddleback High School, both in California, and obtained my diploma from East Fairmont High School in West Virginia. I was released from foster care just before the end of the 1970 school year and returned to California to reside with my parents. I lived in California for the remainder of 1970 through early June 1971 when we moved to my birthplace, Fairmont, West Virginia. Within days of graduation I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served on active duty for 26 years and 27 days and was retired as a Master Sergeant on July 1, 2001. I never saw combat although I served during Vietnam and the first Gulf War. My best friend from 6th grade on was Harry Eugene 'Gene' Walker and the girl I considered my girlfriend during my junior year was Gail Lynn Unglesbee (Howard High Class of 1972). I still have vivid memories of Mr. Jones and Mr. Farm...Expand for more
er, my principals at Howard High. I've always kind of regretted that I agreed to be released from foster care as I did not get to graduate with my true friends from my youth. I have resided in San Diego, California except for three years in Phoenix, AZ (2000-2003) since before I left active duty in September 1997. I earned two associates from Hawaii Pacific University in 1995 with honors and earned a B.A.in Criminal Justice in 2005. Prior to fully retiring on my 62nd birthday on March 27, 2015 I worked as an Auto Claims Field Adjuster and Auto Claims Staff Appraiser for Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation in San Diego, California. I am married with three daughters and a son and have five grandchildren (4 granddaughters and one grandson). My hobby is RV travel, my wife and I own a 2015 Itasca (Winnebago) Viva 24' vehicle with just over 40,000 miles we've racked up during four, 2014-2015-2017-2019, cross-country trips. We've also been on several cruises. two river cruises, and completed a seven country European vacation in 2016.
