James's Story
Hi All, It's Jim, Track Star best known as D.L. Killer, before Killer was not an actual thing in schools yet. D.L. stood for Dead Last. Track guys shouldn't try skilled sports..lol Nobody told me when you graduated as a hot shot senior that the next year you are a newbie, know-nothing kid in the big, cold world. Well, unless I am writing this from the grave, I survived, thrived and fast forward to present day, I am living in the Peruvian Andes where I created a humanitarian project called Changes for New Hope changesfornewhope.com that has been serving over 6000 disadvantaged children.

had one year in Mrs Shertzer's class and slept through it because I never thought I'd ever need Spanish. Wrong! My art has been exhibited in national museums and other venues, 8 in total to date.

I hope those of you who might read this also look back on our early high school selves when we knew everything and see yourselves as you are now and smile ear to ear because life has been kind to you. What we are now is valuable to younger folks who will sidestep our life's mistakes and reach for the opportunities they may not even know are possible. Want to find me? I am on Facebook as Jim Killon, reach out. It will be fun. Live large live deliberately!
