James Lee Anderson was born Aug. 13, 1947, in Brookings, S.D., to Arthur N. and Olga (Wold) Anderson.
He spent most of his career as a guidance counselor working with underprivileged children in Nevada and South Dakota.
One of Jim’s proudest accomplishments was when three of his student groups received the Take Pride in America Award, which recognizes groups for activities involving caring for public lands. The students were invited to the White House. He borrowed passenger vans and solicited funds so all the kids could go, regardless of financial means.
