Have you ever dreamed of prosperity, a life of contentment? Jim Graham fulfilled that dream. On January 6, 1960, he began that journey when employed by Kulicke and Soffa Ind. He became the epiphany of a young man elevating himself from rags to riches, enriched with love. This was not the only time; however, Graham reached for his dreams. Graham was born on December 19, 1935, in Pottstown, PA and remained in his birth town. There were many poor people while Graham was growing up, but yet, there were many effluent roll models guiding his path. Being raised poor did not let that stop him from achieving his goals of Prosperity. He was especially interested in mechanics, materials, and the inter-working of complex products. Luckily, his parents and relatives encourage that interest. That encouragement drove him to excel. He certified in Tool and Die making, and Mechanical Engineering, and advanced his education, enrolling in a magnitude of post graduate courses. No obstacle was too great for Graham; he was on a mission, prosperity . Graham’s accomplishments did not end there. In 1982, he began educating himself on the use of personal computers; writing programs that were used globally to reduce manufacturing time and reduce the cost of mechanical components. Graham began to publish articles for magazines and newspapers; he wished to share his experience, opinions, and expertise.   Today he is retired, using his skills, Graham continues to publish articles, compose poems, research and compile genealogies, and to author and publish his autobiography, “Prosperity, The Jagged Trail”. Graham also authored his second book, a love story, “Reflective Sympathy”.   His life example teaches us to follow our dreams to prosperity, share with others your expertise, console and assist those in need, and trust in God, no matter how far away your dreams may seem to be.
