Jim Mathia

The short version...After a 2 year hitch in the Navy on the USS Yorktown CVS 10, went back to CBC till 1968. Enrolled in WSU and graduated in June 1970. Moved to the Bay Area in California. Met my wonderful future wife in Berkeley 1969. married in 1972. We lived in California until 1977, then moved to Port Townsend and Port Angeles. We loved that part of Washington, raising a family and working there until 2000. Once the children left home, we wanted to move to Seattle for income and to enjoy the City life. Lived in Ballard for 10 years till we retired and moved back to the mighty Pasco...

That was a long time ago...how about getting kicked out of Bucky Ezell's Physics Class for sword fighting with Steve Moser. Yes...those were the future "Star Wars" wands we used.
Ron Wells drivers training was a hoot...no drag racing allowed?
Ron also thought Mike Cravens and I would make pretty good wrestlers if we would get in shape and quit smoking behind the gym.
Why did the Pasco Police and Sheriff's seem to know us on a first name basis.
It really was nice to finally graduate and start a real life...

Yes
