James's Story
Life
Went to Cleveland, Ohio immediately after graduation. Got a job on the railroad owned by Republic Steel. Married a cheerleader from Elkhorn City our rival. We've been together 38 years this coming October. Have a son and daughter and a grandson. Retired from the railroad after 36 years and now live in Lexington, Ky. I have a country & variety music band and play around the Lexington area. I am the lead singer and rhythum guitar player. Would enjoy talking to anyone from Hellier. Jim, Later.

y got my
rehumatoid arthritis in remission. I sing at the St. Joseph hospital in Lexington as a volunteer. My band also plays at the Veterans Hospital plus nursing homes in the area. We also play different gigs around the area. I am really enjoying my retirement fishing, golfing, and playing music. We are going to start traveling more as soon as I can cut some of my charity work. Hope everyone is doing ok and enjoying life. It doesn't last nearly long enough to suit me. It really seems like yesterday we were anxious to graduate. So long for now will update ever so often.
