The LCCA Leadership Team asks all of our members to join us in wishing our founder, Mr. Jim Gates, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  Toward the end of June, Jim will be celebrating his 87th birthday.  Jim does not use email so if you would like to drop him a happy birthday wish you may do so via the USPS.  Jim’s address is 1721 Bateman Street, Perry, Iowa 50220.  And a special thanks to all of those members who have already done so!

Thanks to all members for sending a card. And thanks Jim for taking that step in 1970 to start the LCCA. To read about this early history of the LCCA, click here for the full interview from 1995 with Jim as he discusses his actions and thoughts at that time.
