America’s Poor
Saw this man by the local $ store today and decided to take his picture. Also wanted to make a point that unlike what people may think elsewhere in the world, America "does" have some poor. Whether they choose to be poor or really are, I do not know as there are more opportunities in this country (I am talking about the USA) than elsewhere. That might be changing however with the world becoming flatter and the opportunities shifting to other places. Anyway, I am not going to go too much into that as we all know the state of the economy today. Regardless of what it is though, we have to open our hearts and give what we can when we can. I gave him a $ that is crumbled up in his hands if you look closely.

He and his current wife Marjory Mary (Prefers to be called Maggie) of 18 years live in Fair Oaks and between them they have 4 daughters & one son, and five grandchildren. They like to travel at ever opportunity when Maggie can get him away from hunting and fishing.

Returning to California in the early fifties Jim Graduated from Pittsburg Senior High School in the Bay area. Interestingly enough upon Graduation he was recognized by receiving the American Legion Award for Citizenship. and Leadership. Which fits the pattern already established as he joined the California National Guard in his senior year in High School.
Modesto Junior College was his next stop, followed by Marriage to his first wife who passed away after 27 years from lung cancer. He decided that marriage was more important than achieving his goal of an appointment to West Point, but the military was in his blood so he elected to apply and was accepted as a full time technician in the National Guard. Jim’s military Schools, and assignments are lengthy culminating in Command & General Staff College, B.S. Degree from Hope University in Administration and says he plans on completing his Masters Degree in Management if Rotary Commitments will allow.
