James (Jim) Joseph Rowley

(born October 14, 1908 – died November 1, 1992) Chief of the U.S. Secret Service 1961-1973. Graduated St. John's University law school with LLB in 1936 and master's degree in law in 1937. In 1936, he became a special agent with the FBI. In 1938, he was appointed into the Secret Service; the next year, he was assigned to the White House, during President Roosevelt's term. Rowley did the advance work for all of Roosevelt's conferences, starting with Casablanca. Rowley was appointed to "agent in charge of the White House detail" during Truman's administration. In 1946, he became supervising agent; he did the advance at the Potsdam Conference (Truman's sole summit conference with Stalin). Rowley became chief of the Secret Service in August 1961, during the first year of Kennedy's term of office. He retired in 1973, after 35 years in the Secret Service, including over 24 years on the White House detail (Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations).

The name "James" is the English equivalent of Jacob; the first Jacob in the Bible was the patriarch of the 12 tribes of Israel. "James" is consistently among the most popular names for boys in the U.S.

Plural form of James: According to the Carnegie Mellon Style Guide, "Form plurals of family names that end in 's' by adding 'es.'  Right: The Jameses live in Edgewood."  See also StackExchange.com.
