James (Bassel)'s Story
Hey all you guys from Rutledge High School 1961-1965, Hiwassee College 1965-1967, and Tennessee Wesleyan College 1967-1969. Some of you from Rutledge High know me as Ronnie and others know me as J. Bassel Jr. Most of you from Hiwassee and Tenn. Wesleyan just know me as "Bassel". After I graduated from Tennessee Wesleyan in 1969 I taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade science at Riceville Elem. School for 3 years. I taught 5th grade the next year.In 1973-74 I taught health and science at Washburn Elem. School in Washburn Tennessee. In May of 1974 I became a Greyhound Bus Driver. That ended in 1990. I have been driving a delivery truck for a printing company since...Expand for more
1991. I am 22 years into my 2nd and final marriage. I have 3 daughters, 1 son, and 2 step-sons. I have 9 grandchildren, 5 females and 4 males. I would have to say I am in pretty good health compared to most 61 year olds I know. I have had several attacks of kidney stones over the years, but other than that I would have to say i'm blessed. I have been running on a regular basis for most of the last ten years.(check out my interests on my timeline)
Okay guys I've told you about me, so lets see some stories from some of you.
