I always loved Tommy James & The Shondells. They are also from our area. I have met Tommy James. He used to own Fox & James a Freigtliner truck dealership just 5 miles from us. I got lucky one day. I was at his dealership getting some work done on my truck and they took me upstairs to his office to meet "Mr. James"

He seemed alright, it was more of a busniss meeting because we were talking about the company I was driving for at the time.
Too expand a little more on that, if memory serves me right. I think it was Tommy's Dad or Uncle, something tells me it was his Uncle, that first got into that business when Tommy was still a young kid. Then, when whoever it was died, Tommy got involved in it in the early 80's. He was only there a couple years and doesn't have anything to do with it anymore. I don't think he even lives around here anymore.
