Larry James Interview
Larry James Interview
Larry James was very excited when he was approached to do an interview. He smiled and said, ?I got a lot to say and no one to listen, so hurry now, let?s get started.?
When we had the first interview, which took place January 20, 2003, Mr. James was anxious to star. He said, ?I?ll start talking?, you start writing?.?
He immediately started to discuss his early childhood. He was born to Luther and Sally James, in Milborne, Texas. He thinks his birthday is February 4th, 1900, which would make him soon to be 103 years old. He had seven brothers and five sisters. His only contact with any of the family was with Jake, his brother, whom he read about in the newspaper about the oldest Texan in a nursing home in Midland, Texas. I had this lady here write to him and he is my brother but not the oldest Texan as I am Jake?s older brother,? said Larry.
Jake did call Larry, either Thanksgiving or Christmas but Larry was not sure which. They enjoyed talking to each other, and Larry promised not to tell anyone important he was the oldest. Larry still says, ?I am the oldest
