Jim

My brother Jim worked around the farm and later took over the milk route after graduating from R.C.H.S. in 1918 when Pop became disabled with asthma. In September of that year he joined the S.A.T.C. (the Student Army Training Corps). This was a branch of the army that was to be trained as future army officers. He was sent to Villanova College in regular army uniform and started intensive training. But a couple of months later, on November 11 the armistice was signed and the war ended.
After the S.A.T.C. was disbanded, Jim stayed in college and graduated in June of 1922. This was all in addition to driving the milk route every day which he had shortened to the near end of Manayunk. Jim married soon after college and Joe took over the milk route when Jim moved away.
