Karen and I met Jim and Louise at the Bowie, MD library where he was showing his amazing dioramas. That began an over forty year friendship, meeting at art shows up and down the east coast, sharing experiences, meals, and stories. We visited each other’s homes, and Jim proudly showed us the innovations that he added to the van that he and Louise traveled in. They had a wonderful life from the Air Force days, to Maryland, to the lake in Virginia, to Falcon’s Landing. They talked a lot about their family that they were so proud of.
A few years ago over lunch at Falcon’s Landing we discussed getting together at the Ward Carving show in Ocean City for a look down memory lane. We did so, and had a wonderful time together at the Dunes Manor Hotel, in Ocean City. Karen and I will miss Jim and Louise very much. We had such great memories together. Our love and condolences go out to their family.
John & Karen Mullican, Sharpsburg, Maryland.
My many memories of Jim-and Lousie- began in Los Angeles in 1965 when we were at USC and continued with many happen-stance and opportune visits over the years since. Seems Mike Nassr [another USC'er] and I often found ourselves in the McCullough's vicinity and enjoyed Louise's cooking, admired Jim's dioramas and traded 'war stories'
Those were wonderful times--Thanks to the McCulloughs Godspeed to the family!
!Wayne Waddell, Colonel USAF, Ret.
