Jim retired in the year 2000. Just how many of us know what we want to be when we grow up? Jim knew - at the ripe old age of nine or ten - that he wanted to ide em or sell em. (Farmalls that is!) His proudest accomplishment was being elected to the Board of Education of Lincoln-Way Community High School in 1983.
