Jane were members at Eastern Hills Church of Christ in Marshall, Texas. Jim had a
rewarding career for 34 years with Thiokol Corporation, Longhorn Division in Karnack,
Texas. He said the people he worked with at Thiokol made it a privilege and a special
place to work. Jim retired in 1989, and he and Mary Jane moved to Shadowood Lake on
the outskirts of Marshall.

of Commerce, and three term member of the Marshall City Commission.
