Now

Birthday:April 03, 1944 Occupation:Retired Teacher/Lawyer Marital Status:Widowed No. of Children:2

From Jim:Hey Purple People! I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again and hearing your stories.
My story is one of 2 careers. After law school I have been a VISTA volunteer, a Legal Aid attorney, an assistant city attorney, a juvenile court referee, and my own boss in a 6 attorney private practice firm.
While being a lawyer, I began teaching law classes at Eastern Michigan U and found that I liked it. I went back to school to earn a Masters in education and a teaching certificate. Since then I have taught, primarily law and nonwestern cultures to high school students.
My story also includes a lovely, loving partner who died 14 years ago after24 years of marriage. We have 2 girls who have launched into interesting careers--Lia, a tropical epidemiologist, and Britt, an advertising placement executive. I have a grandaughter and will have a grandson by the time of our reunion.
I have traveled a bit to distant lands but now satisfy myself with volunteering (ESL tutoring, Meals On Wheels, and a no-insurance medical clinic). I suffer from a reading addiction with mysterious complications and occasionally chase the little white ball around the fields. I am in Beloit from time to time as we move my mother to a care facility. I'll see you in October.
