James “left Richard Garten’s Trinity in 1973 [he had been teaching Grade Four there since 1966] and taught in Japan, Germany, and again with Mr. Garten at Gulf Stream School in Palm Beach County, Florida. In 2006, he ended forty years of service teaching geography at St. Bernard’s School. His wife, Judith Richardson, died in 2003 at Newport. James, a cancer survivor, now spends his time on the Upper West Side, in his garden in Dutchess County, or traveling (depending on the annuity and the kindness of friends). He is the author of the unpublished children’s storybook, Fred and Felicity, Fast Friends, and a guide for young adults, Manners: A Course of Study, and play, A Muse Bouche.”
