Jim Kelley's Life Story:
My Ireland Family Tree branches are from counties Galway, Tipperarry, Limerick, Antrim, and other Ireland counties unknown at this time. My German Family Tree Branches are from Berlin. My Switzerland Family Tree Branches are from Oberegg, Switzerland.
I was Born the ninth child out of ten kids, I was a bit spoiled and loved very much by my family. From memory and family stories, I've realized I was given a lot of attention as a child. Because of this love and attention, I became the person I am today. Along with my brothers and sisters influence, I was greatly impacted by my Mother. At the age of six my parents separated. My brother Jack and I went with Mom and the rest went with Dad, except Tom. Tom, the oldest, was in the Air Force at the time. At some time or another growing up, most of the kids came to live with Mom, Jack and I for short stays. My earliest memories are of the big 3-story house we lived in on 8th and Jackson Street in the inner city of Wilmington. This house was very tall and there were four bedrooms as I remember.
Bonnie and Connie (the twins) and Candy Lived in one room on the third floor.
Tom, Mickey and Danny's room was across from them. On the second floor were
Kathy and Maureen's room as well as Mom and Dad's room. Jack and I had a small
room right off from Mom and Dads room. There was a sand box in the back yard and
a closed in glass foyer in the front of the house. It was this glass foyer that
I'll carry with me the rest of my life. As I remember it, I was about four years
old and was playing "Bat man and Robin" with my brother Jack (the youngest). I
threw my arm out to slap a virtual bad guy and put it through a glass pane
window in the foyer. I still have that stitched up scar today on my right hand.
(Boys will be Boys).
Mom, Jack and I moved into a really big apartment up the street from Jackson St. to Vanburen Street. I really liked this place and the next-door neighbors. We moved from downtown in 1969 to get away from the racial rioting that was tearing down our city. The National Guard was called in and stayed an entire year. This was the longest federal occupation of a U.S. city since the Civil War. We moved into an apartment complex that became the central point of my childhood. What I mean by this is I had my best experiences as a child in this neighborhood. After moving in there, Jack and I (ages 6 and 8) made friends fast; both female and male alike. We formed a close nit group of friends that has never been duplicated since.
We moved again when I was 13 to a neighborhood closer to our school. We lived in an apartment next to my adult age sisters, Kathleen and Candace(Candy). They were a big help to me, especially Candace. I went into Conrad High School. The whole time we were moving around town, Dad and the big eight as they were called (the first eight kids) were living in Elsmere. A town just outside of the city limits. I spent many weekends and summer vacations there with Dad and the big eight. My sister Bonnie spent a lot of time with Jack and me when we went there; Taking us to the park and reading us stories. She was a good sister who gave much of her time. I liked that house and had many friends in that Neighborhood as well. We always (Jack and I) had two Christmas' and two Easters' a year, and felt lots of Love from that home as well.
I had two homes growing up and felt very fortunate because of it. Unlike other Kids that came from broken homes, I never felt broken, but actually fortunate to have two homes and so many people who loved and encouraged me. I received much of my confidence from this situation and I am very grateful to my Dad and Brothers and Sisters. But especially my Mother, who sacrificed her life for Jack and I, and was a very loving, giving, and supportive Mother. Some say she spoiled us, but I don't see it that way. I see it as a job well done by someone who cared more about her kids than she did anything else. She did what she thought was best for us and had the courage and tenacity to follow through with her plans. She is why I am who I am and I miss her very much. During High School I played fall, winter and spring sports. In High School I dated a lot. I was popular and had the best beer keg parties around. I always kept them under control.
After High school I attended College at the University of Delaware into
my Junior year where I dropped out and went to night school for Heating and Air
Conditioning. During my years at the University of Delaware I joined the Army
National Guard to help pay for College. It was a 6 year commitment. I worked
with HVAC contractors while I apprenticed for the trade and after 4 yrs of night
school I received my Journeyman's Papers for HVAC Technician. I used this to get
a better job at the Dupont Institute as an HVAC technician. While I was there I
went back to College and got my Degree in Mechanical Engineering. After 10 yrs
there, and at age 33, I landed a Job in Engineering, traveling around the
Continent with the Company. I traveled for almost 4 years before tiring of it
and decided to take advantage of the Web Site Design skills I acquired on my own
and was developing for several years with many different created web sites,
including this one. If I was going to quit the road, I was going to make the
tough transition from Engineering into the Information Technology field. I then
decided to go full time into my own Internet Services company providing web site
design, hosting and e-commerce consulting services. My 40's have been interesting
to say the least: I stopped traveling with my job, made my way back into the
Engineering Field after the Dot Com Bust, wrote a 365 page novel about my
mother(Marion's Walk), and by extension my entire family, and continue to live happily unmarried. My 50s have been rather uneventful and stable.
