Jim White,

Class of 
1962

Jim White writes, “Hard to believe but sixty (60!) years ago this fall we YDS Class of ’62 walked together into Marquand Chapel. Wow!

      This ‘from Oklahoma’ kid is now/still in Colorado walking a Golden Retriever named Gilda. Wife Patti graciously feeds me and, because of AMD, drives me to Pilates. Life is good (enough). 

      The especially good personal news is that my many-years-in-the-writing book, Fly-fishing the Arctic Circle to Tasmania: A Preacher’s Adventures and Reflections,came out this spring. It even recalls fishing in Connecticut on YMCA Lake Hubinger! 

      The CE person at our church persuaded me to teach a 4thgrade Sunday school class this year. Last week I showed them a picture of me when I came to First Congo (UCC) in ’89, and one kid asked, ‘What happened?’

      Years. 

      That’s enough from White House West.”

Jim White adds that he had a great conversation with Woody Richardson, who is living in a care facility in Nashville. Jim and Woody shared memories of mutual visits in Colorado and Nashville.
