Jim Vennen's biography, posted on Facebook, to Retired Air Force Recruiters, August 22, 2009
My greatest satisfaction is my 42 years married to my wife, Flo. We replaced ourselves on earth with my son Erich, born while stationed in Germany, and my daughter Tamara born at the Air Force Academy who is now a Veterinary Tech. My three grandsons keep us busy and young.

I grew up in the Ohio learning solid values to be practiced to this day. Music was and is a passion in school I still possess. Following my father�s footsteps I worked in a factory. Needing to advance, I attended Wright State University before joining the U.S.Air Force. I served as Combat Photographer in SE Asia and the photographer for Tuskegee Airman General �Chappie� James at NORAD, Cheyenne Mountain. The second half of my Air Force Career I served as a Nurse Recruiter and Officer Recruiter. In 1983 our Springfield, Ohio office won Blue Suit IV. Retiring from the Air Force, we moved to Colorado.
