I'm Jim, the youngest of five children. (or next to the youngest of ten counting stepchildren) In my original family there are two boys and three girls. (Mothers' first two girls, Erma and Betty died at birth)The step kids were three boys and two girls. None of up paired up. We were too much like brothers and sisters.
All the kids from the top are; Buddy, Big James,( I'm Little James) Mickey, Shike, Bobby, Betty Jo, Joan, Floyd, me and Joyce.
During the 60s and between marriages I traveled the western states with 'The Argons',a Country Music band from Northern California and had several other bands including,'Jim and the Hard Times' and 'Half Fast Country.'
In the early 80s my wife, Donna, and I briefly owned a night club. She tended the bar and I played music and drank beer and vodka. It was a great setup while it lasted 'chuckle'but all good things must come to an end!

	My Angel Rebecca I always hated school and at age thirteen I ran away from home in California and went to work for my brother-in-law in the West Texas oil fields of Odessa, Texas as a roustabout. I drove my first truck at age 13. I worked as a musician, mostly as the lead singer in my bands. I drove my own trucks long line for Bekins Van Lines and West Coast Truck Lines. I spent three years in the US Army in the fifties. That's where I met and married the first time. My first wife, Maggie, and I had four kids; Rebecca, Lorado, Margaret and Veronica. My Angel, Rebecca, has since gone to be with God. My second wife, Donna, had two children, Barry and Tracey. My other children are; Jamie Colleen, Dirk Allen, Jayme Louise and the twins, Theresa and Laura. Their Mothers are all fine women. This is my Angel Rebeccas' first picture. She was born august 14, 1956, when I was in the Army. She died on January 1, 2001, at age 44. God is happier and better off now with her presence in Heaven. I may post My Talks With God later on. I will show more pictures of Rebecca and the other kids as I add more pages at another time. Now I will give you a sample of my poetry.
