James (Jim)'s Story
Life:
I moved from Chicago,Ill. from Schurz High School to live with my Father. I then attended Willow brook H.S. for the following (2) years while living in Oak Brook Terrace,Ill. I left school to enlist in the United States Army near the end of the Vietnam conflict to see the world and to learn a trade.. I finished my education while in the US Army. Burger jobs did not cut the mustard. I only had a few close friends that I can remember in those wild High School days of too much hanging out, partying and soul searching. I really liked the suburban school teachers a little better and the students I met where all very nice. They made made me feel welcome to the new school.
I live ...Expand for more
in Arizona now. I am married and have three sons who are all grown up and out of the house on their own. I am a grandfather of three too! My lovely wife and I are empty nesters now. We have a horse named Dakota and 2 dogs. I have been married for over 30 years. That is a real blessing for me. I miss Illinois, the great mid western food, culture, people, great lakes and its beaches, and the beautiful forest preserves I used to hang out a lot on the weekends. Lots of great times with family and friends. I hope all of you are doing well...best wishes. May all of you prosper and live a long life of love and success. Give me a shout out and say Hello if you want too.
Love and Peace, James.
