My real name is James Allen. When I was young, my mother and sister called me Jimmy. As I grew older, Jimmy sounded juvenile so I started going by the name Jim. I didn't like the name James because when I was in elementary school, Jack Benny had a TV show and his chauffeur's name was James. Often at the end of his show he would say, "Home James". The kids at the Ben Franklin elementary school in San Antonio, Texas just wouldn't let it go. At the end of school it was always, "Home James". That would have been around 1954 or 1955.
