James's Story
Life
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR JAMES FREDERICK BECKER (GLENBARD HIGH CLASS OF 1941/UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 1948), THAT WOULD BE MY FATHER. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT I ESTABLISH CONTACT WITH YOU IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR HIM. THANK YOU.
Thanks for stopping by. After some time away I returned to Sacramento about 20 yrs ago. My wife, Tomi, and I live in Elk Grove.
I've got two boys. One of them has given me grandchildren, a boy and a girl. My oldest son, Willie, is a locomotive engineer for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR on freight trains running between the Bay Area and the Midwest. My other son, Ben, graduated from Evergreen State in Olympia, Wa. and got married in 2006. He's a photographer in Seattle and travels worldwide with the Nations Foundation, a ministry he helped establish to bring the Gospel to riders on the pro snowboarding circuit.
I had a fairly successful career as a rock and roll discjockey for a number of years. I worked in Sacramento, (KWOD, 93 Rock) as well as Magic 107 FM in Portland, Y108, Denver, and X-100 i...Expand for more
n San Francisco. Plus alot of other smaller markets...MUCH smaller markets. I've also taught special ed.-Severely Emotionally Disturbed.
We try to stay active in our church and spend alot of time taking care of our adopted family (2 cats and a dog) all of whom we rescued. I still try to get in some skiing when I can. Otherwise I spend alotta time on airplanes between here and the Northwest, alot of time online, and WAY too much time listening to talkradio.
Thanks for reading this and stay in touch...or get in touch...I like connecting with people from high school even if we didn't run in all the same circles. Have a good one! Jim
PS I got rid of the name "Batty" because it really sounded dumb on the radio and went back to my birthname, Becker, which is what I use now.
