Jim Ross was a farm news broadcaster when I first met him in the 1970's. He was on KMA Radio in Southwest Iowa.
Jim was given up for adoption as an infant. He was adopted by the Lightfoot family and given his new name: Jim Ross Lightfoot.
He became a U.S. Congressman from Iowa in 1984 and served a full decade in the House of Representatives.
We talk of his life experiences. Jim tells some amazing true stories. Enjoy.
His Book: Climbing Mountains with God is available from Amazon.
