The Jim Shute family seems to be thriving, with Jim, an ex-steel business retiree, back in the harness with the Allegheny Ludlum Steel Company's ALSTRIP Division in Philadelphia. He reports that oldest son Jim is selling for the North American Steel Company in Cleveland; daughter Sara is in banking; youngesson Steve is a junior at Tulane as a computer science/math major; and wife and mother Mary is working part-time in sales training for Coldwell Banker. Jim manages to operate his own company, Thistle Sports Enterprises, and he and Mary also find time to enjoy weekend golf.
