Today's Featured Biography

James Tidwell

After high school I enlisted in the Marine Corps for four year tour of duty. Got to see the world from a very unique perspective. After discharge I was employed with the State of Texas 1966-1973.Next I worked for the City of Dallas until retirement in 1999. After that I worked part time for a third party inspection firm in Ft Worth for three years. Best accomplishment: I quit smoking after 25 or 30 attempts in 1981. One year later I quit drinking because I was afraid I would get drunk and light up. I thank the LORD for the strength to give up those two excessive vices. I found the love of my life in 1972. In 1973 she consented to be my wife. And now I would have to die and go to heaven to have a better life!!!
