James's Story

Well.. Just signed up for Classmates.... Here's a little about my life after High School. I was married for 18 years, and have 3 great kids. Aaron, Jenna and Chelsea. Started young on purpose, as I'm now 1 year from being an empty nester :) The kids are 24, 19 and almost 18. Jenna the 19 year old just had my first grand child and her name is Jersey LeRay Miller. She's the apple of my eye. I'm the head coach for the local middle school 7th and 8th grade football teams and also a girls traveling tournament fastpitch team. Also LOVE to whitewater kayak. Living in the NW near the convergence of 5 rivers including the Mighty Columbia make for a perfect location for that. I love God and country and spend as much time in the outdoors as life allows, and have tried to raise my kids to feel the same. For work, I run a small constuction crew in the maintenance dept of my local hospital. Before that, ran my own painting business. For the last 11 years I have gone to the Kenai Penninsula for 2 weeks a summer, to a small piece of land in Ninilchic with a cabin, I went in on it all with a friend. We slay salmon, halibut and clams for thwe most part.But almost got eaten by a grizz last summer. Had to go Kung Foo on his ass. that included running really fast :) Have an ocean going skiff and a couple rigs up there too.. good times. Just got back from Wa. Dc, Gettysburg, Jamestown,Williamsburg, Bush Gardens (love the roller coasters there)and a few other places on the east coast. Had to check those off the bucket list... as I love history. While I was back there I got a call from Gene Anderson who I hadn't talked to in like 25 years.. Prompted me to get on Classmates. Sounds like he's doing awesome. I love doing concerts and never miss Dave Matthews at the Gorge Amphitheater over the Labor Day weekend for my end of summer creshendo. Life is good, and lovn it. ...Expand for more
Jimmy Denton OK.. a little up-date since I haven't been on here in YEARS. Though it's odd to write about myself.. and as I read my old "Bio" and think it sounds lame lol, I'll try again. Well, I have since adopted my g-daughter due to some bad decisions on my daughters part. And am nothing but thankful for it. Jersey is still the apple of my eye, my sidekick and best buddy. My daughter is doing great now.. but it's been quite a road. I guess life isn't perfect, but I tend to believe it's how we live the most of it.. and especially how we finish that really matters. Jersey and I hike allot, go to many concerts together and are two peas in a pod. We recently stumbled across the most beautiful place I've ever seen.. The Mckinsie river trail outside Springfield OR. Heaven on earth. I'm still going to the Dave Matthews show over Labor Day weekend every year at the Gorge Amph. This year will be a little more memorable.. as a bunch of my "Classmates" are coming to join. I'm so stoked to see Gene Anderson, Gary and Brandy Berg, Gerhard Clark, Mike Finchen and hopefully a few others that aren't sure if they can make it yet. I got back into coaching last fall after almost 6 years of raising my little. Yes, 6 year old soccer, then T-ball in the spring lol. It was quite a difference from coaching competitive tournament sports as before. But I loved it and the kids all benefitted. I find it to be more fun now.. and love having the parents involved. Have been thinking of late that it might be time to get back on the dating train, but am in no hurry, as life is truly a blessing just how it is. But at least my eyes are open to it these days.. we shall see lol. I made a funny. Well. at risk of sounding ditsy again, I think I'll just leave it at that for now. God Bless and don't just take care of yourselves.. find another that needs a hug now and again. Peace... Jim
