I must have met James Lowry, and probably met him several times. The name does not being back any memories, but I was an umpire in Wright City ball field for over 20 years, and was a frequent visitor the the Warrenton VFW (2180) & also a member of the same church, & we are both Marines - so our paths must of crossed at one time or another.
