Jim Beck



Jim Beck was a 1955 Rockport High School Graduate and on June 5, 1955, he and Jimmy Durbin volunteered for service in the Air Force. They were sent to Sampson Air Force Base, in Geneva, NY, to start their basic training. After basic training, Jim and Jimmy went their separate ways. Jim's military career consisted of serving 20 years in the Air Force, and in August of 1975, Jim retired as a Senior Master SGT.
