It’s an honor for our program. James Clements: Thank you. Sir, the first question that I always like to start off with is please just tell us a little bit about your childhood and your life before you entered the military. James Clements: Well, it’s pretty simple. I was born in Haskell County, Texas, in 1924, August the 20th, 1924. My father was a farmer and he and mother were married I think a little better than 50 years and had five children. In ’29, he left the farm in 1929, due to he lost it actually. The bank didn’t foreclose, he just gave it to ‘em. And he was a bridge builder, went into that, and dams, and the carpenter type thing. He worked all his life, and that’s where I got into that particular business as well. I have a brother who served in World War II, and I have a brother who served in the Korean War, in the Navy.

    USSVETERANS BRISTOL ASSOCIATION DD 857 FALL 2010 NEWSLETTER Reunion Highlights Well, we had another great reunion in Philadelphia, 7-10 October. The officers of our association have done it again. Gentlemen and Lady (Shirley Clark, Historian and all the Bristol ladies) thank you for a wonderful time. Jeri Glass, our great reunion coordinator from BRAT did a spectacular job, which Jeri makes to look easy. The welcome dinner buffet was superb on Thursday night. Many of the attendees took advantage of the optional tours of Philadelphia and the USS New Jersey BB 62. On Saturday morning, we convened the business meeting, re- electing the current officers with one change: Paul Ratcliffe has accepted the vice president position. Thank you Paul. Did you know that Paul had the uncanny foresight to film some of the daily activities while serving in Bristol. Then, Paul produced a great VHS tape transferring all of those 8mm videos to VHS and adding Vicotry At Sea music. Now we have to convince Paul to transfer the VHS to DVD so that I can use images in our newsletter. Duane Haugan again fulfilled the arduous task of photographer extraordinaire. Doing that is along with photo Placque commemorating the POWs of Revolutionary War documenting all of the other activities. Bob Burns video who suffered and died in British jails. God bless these documented as well. Tony Molnar along with being our treasurer, also, arranged the table reservations for those of us POWs. This memorial is located in Washington Square Park who wanted to sit together. This is all time consuming stuff.
