2 Memories, Stories & Photos about James

He enjoyed family life
It was always fun when he made paper hats and sailboats using newspapers. He often made playhouses for us from appliance boxes. Sometimes he would take a pencil and paper and draw cowboys playing guitar and singing around campfires. As a young boy he enjoyed listening to the Lone Ranger radio program....he would tell us about what he enjoyed as a kid.
