The Conner family moved to Ontario, Oregon when he was 6 months old. Jim attended Conklin Elementary School and graduated from Ontario High School in 1947. He liked to tell folks about running to and from school through Arata Orchard and the swamp where there is nothing but houses today.
As a young man Jim was active in sports and FFA . . .
