Events Around Town Pet Parade — Saturday, May 22 Photos by: JRK Images The DA’s Main Man Prepares for New Chapter, But He Will Still Be Cooking Things Up (Continued from previous page) As for his advice to Fox, “When Jim Fox retires, I would like to see him engage in enormous activities that involve no stress. I want him to spend time on what he loves the best, and that is spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren.” And that is exactly what Fox and his wife, Bonnie, are planning to do, in addition to traveling. “My wife is always complaining that a lot of the traveling we have done has been for business, and I always go to all of the meetings, and therefore it is never a vacation for her. So I would like to take some time and do that,” said Fox. With more R-and-R time on his hands, Fox will be able to indulge more in his favorite pastime, cooking. That’s right! Most people do not know, but Fox has serious skills as a gourmet chef. His family and the District Attorney’s Office have all been blessed with his specialties. “I’ve always done the cooking my whole life,” said Fox. “My mother was a home economics teacher in Half Moon Bay, and my father did a lot of the cooking because when he was growing up, his father ran a logging camp. When my grandmother passed, my father ended up helping out a lot with the cooking. So I grew up with that, and my dad was a fabulous cook who made everything. I love cooking, and if you ask my employees, they will tell you about the fudge. I make 100 pounds of fudge a year, and usually around September people in the office already start to ask me when I am going to bring it in.” All along, Fox has just been a pretty ordinary person doing an extraordinary job as district attorney. “I’ve done this for a very long time,” said Fox. “It’s been a part of my being, but not to the point that it is who I am. But it’s what I do and I’ve loved it!” Fox will be genuinely missed by his peers and the public the day he opens to the first page of his anticipated new chapter. Well, Mr. Jim Fox, we the people will never say goodbye to you, but we will say, “See you around.” And every September, you’ll be sure to see Fox and his fudge around the District Attorney’s Office. But hey, you didn’t hear that from me! (See Fox’s bio on page 28) “This is now my 28th year as district attorney and it’s just been a wonderful experience. I have had an opportunity to do a lot of interesting things.” www.SpectrumMagazine.net
