I received the moniker Mr. Jim in 1983, while I was a counselor at the Christian Herald's "Mont Lawn Camp." The formal title combined with the first name was meant to elicit both respect & familiarity. It worked with adults as well as the children, and I have always liked it.
    Here on the Internet, I believe I have a reasonable chance of getting people to use it again...

   My goal is to be a published novelist by the age of 50.
   I have been a soldier, mountain man, banker, real estate agent, editor, artist and dreamer. I am interested in many things and I'd like to share some of them with you here...
