Notes - Jim enlisted in the US Army during World War II and served in the European theatre. Immediately after enlistment they sent him to weather school at Northwestern University, near Chicago. That's when he renewed his Cornell College 'acquaintance' with Marcella Kouba. After he graduated from weather school, he was sent to England and crossed the English channel shortly after "D Day", and was surrounded during the 'Battle of the Bulge". He was in the 21st Weather Squadron. His service number was D857141. They were married in King Memorial Chapel on the campus of Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, where they both graduated prior to the war. His rank at discharge was Captain. He then went to work for the US Weather Bureau.
They first moved to Kansas City, MO, Des Moines, IA, Washington, DC, Omaha, NE and finally to Columbia, MO. After he retired from the weather bureau he started a private weather consulting firm predicting worldwide agricultural crop yields using computers and satellite weather data. These were very valuable to our country (and the CIA) during the Cold War, as he could tell from the satellite data how bad the crops were in Russia.

History of the 21st Weather Squadron:
Activated at Bradley Field, Conn., in April 1943, the 21st Weather Squadron quickly moved overseas and was assigned to the 9th Air Force in October of the same year. With the purpose of providing dedicated meteorological intelligence to ground units, the 21st WS became the first fully deployable weather squadron in history with men trained specifically for combat; during Operation Overlord, 14 mobile weather units deployed 30 men in support of the ground troops. Following the Normandy invasion, Bronze Stars were awarded to 81 servicemen of the 21st WS.
The unit also earned the European-African-Middle-Eastern service streamer and three additional campaign streamers in Northern France, Rheinland, and Central Europe, for their unparalleled support to the war fighter.
