  • Memorial to James B. Cathcart 1917-1993 WARREN I
    Memorial to James B. Cathcart 1917-1993 WARREN I. FINCH 455 Dover Street Lakewood, Colorado 80226 With contributions from JAMES D. CATHCART AND JAMES R. HERRING, (U.S. Geological Survey, Denver), GUERRY H. MCCLELLAN(University of Florida), THOMAS M. SCOTT (Florida Geological Survey), and STEVEN J. VAN KAUWENBERGH (International Fertilizer Development, Muscle Shoals, Alabama) All of James B. Cathcart’s friends remember his booming voice, smile, great sense of humor, and stories and jokes, but they also remember his serious side and the dedicated professionalism that ended on September 8, 1993, at the Maury Regional Hospital in Columbia, Tennessee, after an unexpected heart attack. Working as scientist emeritus he was on his way with his wife, Doris, to the phosphate deposits of the southeastern United States for what had become an annual stint of field work for the past 35 years (although his friends accused him of taking a vacation). Jim truly died with his boots on. Jim was born on November 22, 1917, in Berkeley, California, the son of James B. Cathcart, Sr., office manager at American Mining & Smelting, and Lydia Pauline (Anderson) Cathcart. He had a younger brother and two younger sisters. In 1918 his family moved to San Francisco, where he attended elementary school. He was a Boy Scout, delivered newspapers, and caddied for his father, perhaps sparking his interest in golfing later in life. He attended Polytechnic High School in San Francisco from 1931 to 1934. He ran the 440-yard dash on the track team and was a center- fielder; but he felt that he was not the same caliber as Joe DiMaggio, a rival contender from another high school.

  • James Bond from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    James Bond From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The James Bond series focuses on a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who James Bond featured him in twelve novels and two short­story collections. Since Fleming's death in 1964, eight other authors have written authorised Bond novels or novelizations: Kingsley Amis, Christopher Wood, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks, Jeffery Deaver, William Boyd and Anthony Horowitz. The latest novel is Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz, published in September 2015. Additionally Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond, and Kate Westbrook wrote three novels based on the diaries of a recurring series character, Moneypenny. The character has also been adapted for television, radio, comic strip, video games and film. The films are the longest continually running film series of all time and have grossed over $7.040 billion in total, making it the fourth­highest­grossing film series to date, which started in 1962 with Dr. No, starring Sean Connery as Bond. As of 2017, there have been twenty­four films in the Eon Productions series. The most recent Bond film, Spectre (2015), stars Daniel Craig in his fourth portrayal of Bond; he is the sixth actor to play Bond in the Eon series. There have also been two independent productions of Bond films: Casino Royale (a 1967 spoof) and Never Say Never Again (a Ian Fleming's image of James Bond; commissioned 1983 remake of an earlier Eon­produced film, Thunderball). In to aid the Daily Express comic strip artists [1] 2015, the franchise was estimated to be worth $19.9 billion, Created Ian Fleming making James Bond one of the highest­grossing media by franchises of all time.
