James's Story
Life
I went to Nam in April 67. After the Corps I continued with the Government in the US Foreign Service. I retired from the U.S. Foreign Service as a contracting officer in Dec. 99 after 21 years and took a contract in Honduras; another in Nepal; and finally I took a contract in Kabul, Afghanistan. I arrived Aug 04 and will be here until July 06. I have two sons, 12 and 15, and my wife Catherine of 17 years who is now in a nursing home as a result of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I am looking forward to the reunion. Semper FI, Jim

fter Viet Nam I was cutting metal in Calif; went to school in Calif for a while. Received an AA from Miami Dade Jr. College in 72 and went to Mexico to the Univ. of the Americas, Puebla, Pue. Graduated in 74 with a BA in Psychology. Worked in private industry for 6 years and joined the US Government. Converted to the Foreign Service in 1983 and have served in Honduras for 7 years and Egypt for 5 years. I am currently stationed in Honduras. I was a DART member (Disaster Assistance Response Team) since 1984 which was very interesting. Whenever there was a Foreign Disaster anywhere in the world, I would be on a plane with other DART members to go in, assess the situation, save lives and get out. Very rewarding experience.
