“Jim’s hobbies include Hapikido Karate. He also enjoys ballet and opera. Wife’s name is Clenice.”
If I hadn’t seen such a strange mix of hobbies and interests on the back of this card, I never would have done a Google search for Jim and found out a few things.
First, he helped teach Dennis Quaid how to pitch for the movie The Rookie.
Second, Jim and his wife Cathy (not Clenice…) spend a lot of time working with children with autism, including two of their own children.
Respect level way up, Jim Gott. We can all learn from 1985 Topps.
Jim Gott seems like a classy guy. In a perfect world, he’d drive a wood-panelled 1946 Mercury Wagon. He and Clenice and his merry gang of not-so-bright charity cases could cruise in style.
