JAMES ANDERSON
Born in 1947, Jim was raised on a farm in northern Illinois.
His formal education began in a one room country school in Hahnaman township.
For those of you not familiar with country schools, all 8 grades were in one room
with one teacher. Jim had only one other in his class. His older brother and
sister in addition to twenty or so neighborhood kids made up the entire school. Jim
completed his grammar school education in the newly consolidated unit school built in Deer
Grove - 4 rooms - 4 teachers. His high school class averaged twenty five, thus
allowing him the opportunity to be as active as he desired. For Jim, that meant,
playing all sports, all plays, vocal music, 4 H and church M Y F. His parents
strongly encouraged him to never say no to getting involved. In1965 after graduating
from Tampico High School, he enrolled in Northern Illinois University located in DeKalb as
part of over 5000 entering Freshman. College years seemed to fly by quickly
concluding with a bachelors of science degree in Mathematics. From there Jim took
employment in the Chadwick school system where he taught both math and science
to junior
high and high school students. He coached several sports eventually leading to the
athletic director and assistant principal position. He left education in 1979 to
enter into an ag retail position. Jim owned and operated this business from
1979 to1996 when he sold it to Terra Industries. He managed the business for them until
the fall of 1998 at which time he went back to school to pass the qualifications for real
estate sales which he began in January of 1999.

accomplished many goals-Sterling Land Company Land
