James B. Lima was my grandfather. My mom grew up in Livermore, where she met my dad. They we’re married in 1947 and both families moved to San José, where my grandfather and Ben Levin continued building and buying theatres. These included the Garden (where I spent much of my childhood), the Crest/Victory, the Liberty, and the José.
