JAMES FREDERICK DEROUIN A little man with a big heart. In his high school class of 100 (50 being boys) eleven of them were named James. To lessen confusion they decided to call each other by their middle names. That is how Jim/Fred got to be known as Jim to some people while others only knew him as Fred. Jim/Fred was the original owner of the Only Shoe Repair on North Broadway, known for its excellent workmanship and the tree out front with brightly painted shoes hanging from the branches. He took pride in his work and won several national shoe repair competitions.
