Marriage
I don't know when they became an "item", I did see two pictures dated 1932 but I don't know if Jim took them or if they predated their relationship. This picture was dated 1935, I didn't see any wedding pictures.

Teenage Years II
After high school, Pat went to work in Gram's office. This is not a great picture but the best I could find.
It seems that while Pat was working for Gram, Jim was trying to get a start in printing. I assume that is what this photo is about since they both became printers.
The style book indicates that he was printing before he got married, in addition to other odd jobs he found to earn money.

Teenage Years
He looks a bit tough in this photo, not the jokester.
He did love his car. Here he is taking Gram and some of her friends to Palm Springs.

Jr. High graduation
I'm not sure when he went to live with Gram in LA but for sure he graduated from Le Conte Jr. High in LA.
He never spoke of going to camp but I found pictures of him at Little Green Valley.
At first I thought the woman was Gladys as she looks like Gladys later in life. Eventually I realized that the woman was too old. Looking at other photos identified as Gram it seemed clear that that is who this is.

Jimmy at Todd
Since the corrected version of this page would not enlarge on the original post I am giving it its own post.

Jimmy at Todd
It seems that Jimmy was at Todd for about three years. He was never clear about it but looking at the captions on pictures it would seem he went to Chicago some time in 1922 and left in 1925. He probably started Todd at the beginning of the school year and left mid-year.
He would occasionally talk of walking to church in the snow and going to the lake.
He was devoted to his grandmother and had little use for his mother. He always spoke highly of "The Aunts", and was nostalgic about his time in Salt Lake City. When we visited SLC he wanted to drive up into Bingham Canyon. That was where he had boarded with a woman he called "Simma". I believe that her name was Mrs. Smith but as he was a very small child he couldn't pronounce it. He kept in contact with Simma until her death sometime in the 1950s.
