Title
Cole, Jim R. (1954)
Description
Jim Cole grew up and went to Benson High School in Portland, Oregon. He attended a junior college in 1948 before joining the army during the Korean War in 1950. He then joined the air force and occupied a desk job, keeping record of each war. He never experienced combat because his superior didn’t want to lose him and his good work ethic. Jim found out about Lewis & Clark College through his girlfriend who attended the school. When his tour of duty was done, Jim Cole enrolled in Lewis & Clark College in 1952. He majored in business and was very active on campus, becoming a member of a band and of a fraternity. He went on to get a Masters degree and work in insurance companies. He has two children and four grandchildren. Twenty years after his wife passed away, he remarried a Lewis & Clark alumni. He met her at the 50th Class of 1954 reunion. Jim Cole is now part of the Albany society, which is an active alumni group. In 2009, he was elected president of the Alumni Society and is now its treasurer.
