James serviced the mid south area from 1995 to 2010 and had his work recognized in national publications across the country.

James received so much feedback that he decided to serve others in personalizing their mobility canes as well.\n\nDate: Thursday\, July 16\nTime: 12 PM\nTo register for this meeting\, email Rebecca at rsmith@lighthousefw.org.
