Forty Years of James: Turmoil and Triumph

 

EPISODE 1: A CHILD IS BORN

December 5, 1962. Word is received back at headquarters: it's a boy! Dressed in swaddling clothes, the infant is brought home and is anointed James.  In a rare recording, we can hear Mother and Father playing with their new son upon his arrival (click play below).

 

 

Little James soon became the apple of Mom's eye. However, it seems as though she had trouble identifying his non-descript face as she found it necessary to label his pictures (see below). 

As time went by, James began to assimilate into the family and was warmly embraced by his brother and sister. Here he is seen Trick-or-Treating along with "Superman"  and an unidentified skeleton. (Note that the belt of Superman is just under his armpits).
