Jim Aikin and his parents and sister were members of our congregation in the early 1960s, when we were the Livermore Unitarian Fellowship. Following a successful career as a staff writer and editor at a magazine for musicians, Jim returned to Livermore in 2002 and rejoined UUCiL in 2015. He is the author of a number of books, both fiction and nonfiction, a private cello teacher, a perpetual auto-didact, an expert in music technology, and an avid board game player.
