    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Jim was born in San Angelo, Texas, but quickly moved back to Tennessee. He earned a BS in Chemistry from MTSU, entered the Army via the ROTC, then joined Thiokol in 1957, working at various company branches until retiring in 1999. He primarily worked in solid rocket motor R&amp;D, then transitioned into management and marketing. Jim particularly discusses various categories of Huntsville division developments (propellant binders, burning rate catalysts, insulation adhesives/asbestos-free insulation, propellant demonstrations, and a large non-segmented rocket motor). He closes by discussing particular areas in the field of rocket motors that he believes are due further development.]]></dcterms:description>
