James AnnableA collector and teller of stories, Jim is a commercial airline pilot, captain of his own 38 ft vessel the Pilgrimage, a small-time farmer, beekeeper, and spinner of alpaca fiber. His past exploits as a surfer, diver, motocross racer, backpacker, and arine pilot have now changed to quieter pursuits tending chickens, cows, bees and alpacas on a small, hilly farm in the Shenandoah Valley. He is married to his college sweetheart and they have 5 kids and 5 grandkids.
