James's Story
School
WILLOW GLEN ELEMENTARY, K-1: Can't remember much; I do recall getting into trouble for kissing girls.
BROADWAY ELEMENTARY(new school) 1-6: Made a few friends, had a good time, learned a lot.
EDWIN MARKHAM JR. HI., 7-9: What a change! Hard time adjusting to a multiple classrooms.
ABE LINCOLN HIGH, 10-12: A great atmosphere for wasting time, getting into trouble and generally screwing off. No wonder everyone avoided me.
College
1 year at UC-BERKELEY: hated it.
4 years at SAN JOSE STATE:...Expand for more
it was great, and my mom did my laundry!
Workplace
Majored in Radio/TV production at San Jose State and worked on-and-off in radio for a year or so. Decided to get a secure(?) job with the Phone Co. in '63 when I got married the first time; became a tech in the electronics industry in '66 (to keep from starving to death!); worked as an engineer in the music biz from '68 to '71; founded my own electronics development and manufacturing business in '72, which continues successfully to this day. Retirement? Never.
