James's Story

Life Got married (too young) after I got out of the Army. Remarried later in Beloit, Wisconsin to a lovely lady from Canada who passed away a few years ago. I remarried to a nice lady in Payson in 2006. My folks moved up here to Show Low AZ where I helped my Mom with my Dad who had Alzheimers. He passed away in February 2005. She passed away in January 2008. Oddly enough they both passed away in the same room in the local Hospice center. Military I went in the U.S. Army in March of 1967. After attending infantry and artillery training, I was interviewed by an Army Warrant Officer, who told me I have very good clerical scores. He then asked if I could type. I said no. He then asked me if I wanted to learn. I said yes. :-) I spent most of my time in Korea at Eighth Army Headquarters in Yongsan. I was privileged to be at Panmunjon when Cmdr Bucher and his men were released by the North Koreans. Career I had several careers. ...Expand for more
Started out in banking and finance. I was a loan officer at a bank and managed several finance offices. I later got into computer sales and switched to the technical side of computers, designing and installing networks, computer repair and training. Currently, I'm retired. I spend my time volunteering at the local library teaching courses in computers. I also rebuild old computers and place them in senior centers and nursing homes for the folks to enjoy old time music and old time radio show. Lately I've been converting some of the stock portfolio and buying lots with mobile homes for rental properties. That meant quite a bit of maintenance on one of the units. But it seems to have been worth the effort. The renters have been telling me that a herd of elk pass through the backyard almost daily. We have just purchased a house in Sierra Vista. It's about 40 minutes away from Tombstone and Bisbee and lots of old mining camps.
