351 The following note from John Floyd Lammon:

James met and married Virginia Louise Monner while in California. They took up residence in South San Francisco and had two children, James Franklin Lammon and Carol Louise Lammon. While living there his father-in-law, Robert Kohl, taught him about being a mechanic. World War II began and James enlisted into the U. S. Navy and was honorably discharged after serving as a mechanic on a Battleship. James and Virginia had their third and last child, John Floyd Lammon, shortly after the war ended and prior to his being discharged. After a few months of continuing to reside in South San Francisco the family returned to Alabama. In 1948 the family took their 18' travel trailer and returned to California where they took up residence in Menlo Park. James returned to work as a mechanic in South San Francisco. With the children growing older and getting bigger they sold the travel trailer and moved into a rented home. In 1952 the family moved to Vallejo, California. In 1954, while still living in Vallejo, they purchased their first home. James continued to work as a diesel mechanic only now he was working in San Pablo, California. In 1956, while doing a welding job at work, a flying piece of metal penetrated his safety goggles and entered his left eye causing blindness to this eye. However, he continued to work until his retirement. He remained in Vallejo until his death in 1979 following his second heart attack in three years.

James and Virginia divorced in 1962, but remained friends. In 1965 he married Nancy Christiana who was the mother of an adopted child, David Schiccitano. James adopted David in June of 1970.

James was an avid fisherman, hunter and all around outdoorsman. Along with the relatives of Enoona Buffalow (Lammon) who were still living in the San Francisco bay area they leased over 500 acres near Putah Creek located in Winters, California. This was a location about 1-hour from Vallejo and 2-hours from the Bay Area. They developed this property into campsites, which was used by family members during the summer months for hunting, fishing or vacationing. This property was lost when the State of California built a dam and created Lake Berryessa. James took his love for fishing and turned it into a second job when he bought a 44' boat and converted it into a commercial salmon fishing boat. He fished this boat with his son, John Floyd Lammon, from 1962 until 1964 when John had to quit because he took a full time job as a letter carrier. James sold this large boat and bought a smaller boat and continued to fish commercially. He was forced to quit in 1967 when he realized this was too dangerous a job for just one person.

James never developed a relationship with God like his brother, Freddie Franklin Lammon, but he did possess and instill into his family the love of family, self respect, inner strength and he demanded all of his children receive the education he never had.
