In Jim's life he wrote this personal reflection…
Foolishly quit school after 8th grade, but earned High School GED in the Navy. About 1981, I was able to take approximately 32 hours of college credits, unfortunately my work schedule at that time prevented continuation. If I had a single regret, it would be my lack of formal and full education. My greatest achievement would be having read the Bible (with study guides) completely through and with good understanding.

To some in my family I was/am considered the proverbial black sheep. If I were that, then I have rather'd enjoyed having the title. Though I am a law abiding citizen, my poor Guardian Angel has had an extremely rough time watching over me through the years. I have had my share PLUS, of life's experiences and I believe I am the better for it all. I feel strongly that it is in these challenging experiences that we mature and grow. In my adverse times during the years here, the LORD has kindly blessed me by making available some good friends in my hours of need. To HIM and them I owe plenty.
