James and i were both employed at Sawley Packaging Co , James and i had tea and dinner breaks together, and so as time went by, i and other  personnel became aware  of  his condition  and how  he carried on. i  saw James hitting his hands on sheets of plywood trying to get use in them, when assisting the wood machinist's.

James was liked and respected by his workmates, 

i do believe Sawley Packaging Co  did what they could for James.

             I have fond memories of James Stevens, my mashiing mate.
