Judy Oswald
KOSC Founder & Emeritus Board Member
Jim Silvernail
Emeritus Board Member
Jim started teaching fishing at the very first Kids Camp in 1998. He has been instructing there every summer since. Jim has been a KOSC board member since 2013. He really enjoys fishing with the kids and watching their excitement when they get a bite or catch a fish. He has seen many, many kids catch their very first fish. The excitement and the joy on their faces is what keeps him coming back. Some of them will not even touch a fish at first but after catching a few, they start taking the fish off the hook without his help. Jim says “KOSC has been an awesome experience”.
He was born and raised in the Sacramento valley and has always been an outdoor enthusiast. He started fishing in the waters of Northern California with his father and brother at a very young age. He took his California Hunter Safety course one week after his 8th birthday and shot his first pheasant with a 410 one month later. He enjoys bow hunting for whitetails in Michigan, also duck hunting and upland hunting with his English Springer Spaniel.
After college, he started flight training with the US Navy and spent seven years as a Navy pilot. Then 32 years as a commercial airline pilot with Flying Tigers and Federal Express. He retired from commercial flying in 2009.
He has been married for 51 years to his beautiful wife, Denise, and has three grown children and one grandchild.
