Jim, son of O’Hara Brereton 1915, came from Mercersburg to study sociology and eat at Prospect. He was a wrestler, joined NROTC, and roomed with John Fine, Dave Watson, Harry Zehner, and Coke Florance.

After naval service, he worked at IBM as a service engineer from 1955 to 1960, then at Cummins Inc.  until 1969. He worked at Kenworth Motor Trucks until 1983, when he turned to real estate in Myrtle Beach. 

In 2001, he began work with Crossman Communities of North Carolina and joined with the Gideons in bringing young people to the Lord Jesus Christ. 

We have just learned that Jim died Nov. 18, 2018. The class sends good wishes to his wife, Tina; and to his children, Wendy and Susan.
