Jim Tucker:

After getting an education in college and an apprenticeship at Newport News Shipyard, I began work for Westinghouse Electrical Corporation as a mechanical engineer.  I worked for Westinghouse for 20 years as a construction manager in several third world countries and for 10 years as a repair plant manager. In 1998 I retired but did consulting work for two multinational construction companies in 2000.  Personally, I got married, had three children - Craig, Lynne and Laura, who are all successful and have their own families (seven grandchildren for me!).  My starter marriage didn't last but I remarried and have been residing in McIntosh, AL with my wife of 33 years.  My biggest accomplishment occurred in 1993 when I started going back to church and began volunteer work for the less fortunate. I am presently active in volunteer work and with speaking on behalf of the Gideons.
