Jim and Anne met while living in North Carolina. Upon retirement, they realized their dream of full-time RV living. They sold their house and hit the road, traveling around North America for almost three years.
After they decided to end their RV adventure, they settled in New York City, in the neighborhood of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, where they now live.
They enjoy music, art, lectures, comedy, food, photography, volunteer work, and exploring off the beaten track places in NYC.

Jim's uncle, J.E. Wroten, was a Mississippi State Representative during the 1950-60's civil rights era. We are fortunate to have our friend Dr. Yasuhiro Katagiri's doctoral project, an oral history of J.E. Wroten. (University of Southern Mississippi, 1993). We also have Jeff Sainsbury's oral history interview with Jim's uncle (Mississippi State University, 1992).
