James's Story
Life
I 've done alot of thing's since I left Holbrook. I worked as a carpenter for approximataly 10 year's in Tucson, Phoenix, Flagstaff, and parts of California. My career in carpentry ended though, when I was sheeting a roof in Flagstaff one day. The wind was not constant, but it was gusting off and on with intensity. Catching a moment when the wind's had died down, I headed up the roof with a sheet of plywood. A gust a wind caught the plywood, and somehow twisted my neck around with it rupturing the 5th disc in my vertebrae
Vocational Rehabilitation pretty much left me on my own, so I applied for College Grant's, received them, and went to College
to get (2) A.A.S. Degrees in Electronics.
I went to work for "Lucent Technologies" when the stock's were at $73.00 a share, and got laid off when they dropped to $1.73 a share approximatily 3 years later.
While going ...Expand for more
to school, I started a business called "Harry the Handyman" and have maintained the business for (14) year's. All of my client's are by word-of-mouth, and I am busy almost everyday.
One of the best things that's happened in my life, is I got sober.
Anyone who knew me drinking, probably didn't think I'd make it!
And you know what, I almost didn't.
I know alchohol was a contributing factor in the demise of my significant other, who I was with for (22) years. She committed suicide on May 22, 2006. She had health problems, but the mental problems and alchoholism seemed to get worse and worse.
Now it's just me and "Buddy", my little dog here in Glendale. My son is now saftely back from Iraq, thank God! He's a Corpman in the Navy, stationed with a Marine's unit over at Camp Pendelton. And I've been a Grandpa for a couple of years now, but still refuse to grow up, eh?
