When Jim was selected to represent TVA working with local government officials regarding the socio-economic impact of an in-moving construction work force associated with the Phipps Bend Nuclear Plant, both Jim and Nancy became assets to our community. They have been well respected and appreciated. Their involvement with church, education and recreation activities has been noted. It has been a pleasure observing as their family has grown and prospered. Their daughters have had the benefit of wonderful parents and the grandchildren of outstanding role models. Jim Point, a man of professionalism and integrity will be remembered for many, many years. Sending thoughts and prayers to Nancy and Family Members with lots of love, from Jane (Metz) and Bobby White and our son, Joe.
