James Anderson Jr. ’41

Jim, a lawyer, security analyst, and one of Houston's leading citizens, died at home June 3, 1995.

Born in Shreveport, La., Jim attended the Los Alamos Ranch School. He went to Choate and was a member of Terrace Club at Princeton. After war service in the Air Force, he earned a law degree at the Univ. of Texas. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi.

He moved to Houston, and was assistant attorney general of the State of Texas, then assistant D.A. for Harris County. He practiced law with the Houston firm of Simmons, Gilmer & Much before becoming a regional security analyst with Underwood Neuhaus and E. F. Hutton.

He was active with a great number of civic, political, and charitable organizations, including more than 40 years with the Lighthouse for the Blind. He was once cited by the governor of Texas for his participation in the drug abuse program for the Houston Independent School District.

He is survived by his wife, Gloria; daughters Gloria Garic Anderson and Pamela Anderson Wallace; and five grandchildren. With them, we mourn the passing of an accomplished and dedicated citizen.
