James's Story

I finally earned my Masters in Global Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary! (2011) Wow, do I really want to do this? K-1 at Grant School (next to the graveyard!) where I cracked my head wide open and stood frozen in fear with a bee on my arm. St. Vincent, short and not sweet -- no peanut butter, OJ, whole milk or chocolate trying to find that allergy. St. John's from 2nd through 5th . . . ruler on the knuckles, caught stealing, Mr. Nado (sp?) and his "board of education", my lost 1st love (Katherine K where are you?), and my Dad's death. Moved to Okinawa for 3.5 years, Port Wheel and that gourgeous red-head on the bus, and all-nighter kite flying! O'Farrell -- what a bust! Morse High, shop, shop, and more shop . . . Plymouth Troubleshooting Regional & Finals! What a difference 6 minutes can make! ROTC, Ms. Whatsername the typing teacher (WOW!:-0), driver training, my '54 Ford, that girl and the kiss in the Lab room (who WAS she?), the huge mistake going to the scholarship meeting with my Mom and, Oh Yeah, THAT OTHER James (R) Lewis -- boy was I embarrassed! (What would they be giving me THAT for? The Plymouth Trophy? What a jerk!) I guess it all makes us who we are . . . right? Mrs. Morgan found a $100 from a mortuary (!) for college supplies. Thank you? Mesa College, Citrus College, Moody Aviation, College of the Desert, UC Riverside, and now Fuller Seminary - at 57 years of age. As you can see in my school listing I have been learning all my adult life. Mesa and Citrus Comm. Colleges for Business and Electronics, Moody for my FAA General mechanic Certifi...Expand for more
cate, SIL for PR, Management and Cross-Cultural Studies, COD for General Ed units, and UC Riverside for Nonprofit Organization Management. The crown to all this, if I can find the time to do it, is compiling all this into a MA in Global Leadership Program at Fuller Seminary. I was able to get through a tough application process (references, essays, CBEST, and a prerequisite course on grad-level Theological Studies with min grade of B-) and be accepted as a Special Student classification. This while concurrently finishing the UC graduate level Certificate course. I think I will be able to do this. Ironic, as I started this all with almost applying to seminary in 1976. But I would have become a priest . . . Leslie made me a father quicker :-) Military I joined the Navy 4/1/73 and after being offered Nuclear ET, I went with Interior Communications. Went through Boot at NTC San Diego, BEEP School and IC-A School at NTC SD (was 4th in my class) and received orders to Electrical Gyro School in Great Lakes and to the CVT Lexington in Pensacola. Unfortunately a hearing loss was found and I was mustered out in 11/73 w/ Honorable Discharge. 32 years later my son, Nate, aced the entrance exam and was offered the same Nuke ET program! He graduated 11/75 and has graduated Nuke School and ELT Specialist, and already outranks me by one stripe. Now on a nuc sub on east coast. Well he just returned froma 6 month deployment to North Pole and Pacific back to Groton, CT. I was able to go on a "Tiger Cruise" with my son! Awesome! He's married now to Virginia - a beautiful GA Peach!
