Roger James

I went into the Air Force June 8th, 1964( we graduated June 4). I got out on Oct. 13, 1967, Went to work for American Airlines in Oct. 27, 1967 and worked for 35 years as fleet service clerk, tracing agent, rate agent, Executive Board member for the Transport Workers Union and the last, ten years as Recording Secretary for the Union and American. I retired right after 911 at 56 years old and moved to Winnsboro, Texas. Where my wife and I currently live. I was married five times but found the right girl from Bell High School (that doesn't make her a bad person), we have been married for 23 yrs. Since the reunion Linda and I have been taking care of her parents, well she's been taking care of them. It seems like when you reach about mid 80's everything becomes very complicated. That's something to look forward too.

I remember when four girls and myself were locked in the clothing cellar where costumes for plays are stored. Mr. Rains ask who all was locked in there and all the girls gave there names and I finally decided to give him mine and he scream out " ROGER KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF, GIRLS I'LL GET YOU OUT AS SOON AS I CAN !" All the girls went to screaming which didn't help a bit. Marvin, was a nervous wreck. He ended up being a good friend.
