After their first winter in California, there was no returning to Cleveland. Jim was known for saying he loved the snow, as long as it was piled up on the mountains. Jim was active with Los Angeles Live Steamers, Riverside Live Steamers, and Orange County Model Engineers. He was also active with Mount Hope Church and Brea Congregational Church.
