Jim Bethke

After high school I hung around town for a few years.  I worked at Koch Tractor for about two years before moving to Elgin, Illinois. I have been employed at Custom Aluminum Products of South Elgin for the last twenty-five years as an extrusion supervisor.

I have two daughters by my first wife.  Crissy, who just turned twenty-three, and Melissa who will turn twenty-one in October.

My second wife, Socorro, comes from Quernavaca, Mexico. We have two children 
together. James is 5, and Eileen is 2. I have two step-children, Jenny is 14 and Alex is 10.  

I also have a two year old granddaughter and a six month old grandson.

I have a webpage if you would like to check it out. The address is pretty long but that's what they gave me.  http://geocities.com/jimmieb53/index.html
