James Brock joined the United States Army in 1976, following the footsteps of the men in his family going back generations.  He was honorably discharged in August 1979.   A fond childhood memory is a brief story told by his great grandmother, who said that when she was a young girl she remembered getting cups of cool well water for the “soldier boys” walking along the dusty road that ran by the family home as they headed back to their lives following the Civil War.  She said James was a pretty boy and she made him promise not to ever go to war.   Luckily, there were no wars going on while James was in the service so he was able to keep his word to Granny Jones.     James lives in Seattle.
