After com- pleting his studies at Texas A 81 M University, the 20- year-old soft-spoken freshman intends to specialize in treat- ing large animals. James, easily recognizable by his blond hair and height, indicates he is also interested in research. James chose San Antonio College to complete a limited number of courses in pre-veterinary study because his family resides in the Alamo City. He graduated from Burleson High School and attended Sam Houston State College in Huntsville. Besides his school curriculum, James Works between 35 and 40 hours a week for one of the Piggly Wiggly food stores. Collecting insects is his hobby. At present, James has about 200 specimens which he fondly refers to as part of his family group.
