Rockwell: experienced for commission
Letter - Alm

We have a candidate with great attributes who wishes to serve as an Idaho County Commissioner. This man is a self starter and has made wonderful things happen out of shear energy and mental ingenuity. I am referring to James Rockwell.
   Right now he is an independently registered investment representative with EK Riley Investment Service. He serves clients in a dozen states and three countries from his office on the Main Street of Grangeville.
   Before returning to Grangeville in 1997 with his wife, Laurie, and their five children, he lived Vietnam, where he created a firm called VATICO employing a staff of 30 with offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The firm specialized in entry and investment strategies for American companies interested in doing business there. Clients he served in Vietnam include the Chrysler Corporation, IBM, The Asian Wall Street Journal, Brown and Root, Hughes Aircraft Company, the Amway Corporation, Hughes Network Systems, the State of Michigan and others.
   He also served as a contract consultant to the World Bank. He was an original member of the business advisory group to the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Liaison office in Vietnam.
   Prior to Vietnam and at a younger age, James ran a real estate company; commercial crab fished, framed homes and bucked bales on the Camas Prairie.
   Affiliations since he returned to Idaho County include elected offices in the following: Idaho County Republican Party; Grangeville Lions Club; Grangeville Chamber of Commerce; Sts. Peter and Paul Parish; Grangeville Gun Club and he is a member of the NRA.
   Please consider casting your ballot for this candidate who is also very interested in creating a productive economic environment for Idaho County. He will take steps to create more jobs here for all ages.
