The year 1978-79 Jim was my supervisor in the High Volume Shop at Texas Instruments. I was learning machine work from him everyday and loved the conversations about cars. He loaned me his lathe work book and I left the company in 1980 for hard time Mississippi. If you look closely you can see his name on the book. I tried several times over the years to find him near Rosenberg or Houston but never could.
