JAMESETTE.COM Web Consultants are available to write technical manuals and proposals; research reports; and produce website content, either directly for clients or as subcontractors for larger projects. At this time, we have more than enough work and we are not accepting new clients.

Each week, we highlight a historic or famous person named James. This week's famous James is:

James Alton McDivitt

(born June 10, 1929) American astronaut who commanded the Gemini 4 and Apollo 9 missions. McDivitt was the only American astronaut to go directly into command of any flight without first serving as backup crew member on another mission. He is the first "James" in space (Gemini 4's mission was June 3-7, 1965); the second "James" in space was Jim Lovell (Gemini 7 was December 4-18, 1965); the third "James" was Jim Irwin (Apollo 15 was July 26 to August 7, 1971). He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1951 to 1972, retiring as Brigadier General. During his Air Force service, he was a chase pilot for Robert M. White's X-15 flight on July 17, 1962, reaching the altitude of 59.5 miles.

The name "James" is the English equivalent of Jacob; the first Jacob in the Bible was the patriarch of the 12 tribes of Israel. "James" is consistently among the most popular names for boys in the U.S.

Plural form of James: According to the Carnegie Mellon Style Guide, "Form plurals of family names that end in 's' by adding 'es.'  Right: The Jameses live in Edgewood."  See also StackExchange.com.
