Jim's Story
After Southwest went to Mankato State for a year. Parents moved to Atlanta GA, so I moved to GA. Got a job that was going nowhere so I joined the Marine Corp. I was in the Air Wing and spent a year in Florida then moved to California. Then worked for Union Oil in Los Angeles. Went back to school and majored in Bus. Admin. Didn't like the big city. Moved to very Northern CA., Siskiyou Co. Small town 750 people, more cows than people. I like that. Worked in the woods, became a Carpenter and then when back to work as Materials Manager and Safety Officer in the Hospital Industry. That took me back to school for Accounting. No! I don't like accounting, just a required boring necessity. Moved to Oregon and worked as Facilities Manager for Consolidated School District. That was a short job. Schools are more political than Politics. ...Expand for more
Did consulting owned a manufacturing company and then went in to working for Government. Staff Assistant to County Commissioners. When that was going to end I went in to Industrial Construction. From that I became a NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) Certified Coating Inspector. That what I do now. Have work in China, North Dakota, Calif. OR, WA ID and Live in Ilwaco WA. with my High School Sweet Heart. Boy is that a another story. God Bless this wonderful woman. God has Blessed me. Don't ever think that after loosing my first wife, then having the next marriage end in Divorce that you can't be happy. Don't ever hold on to Bad and don't ever be alone. Each day is a new opportunity be true to who God wants you to be and you will have happiness, even tragedy, loss and failure will be overcome by Happiness.
