== Early life ==
Jim Halsey was born in Independence, Kansas to Harry E. Halsey, Jr. and Carrie Lee (Messick) Halsey. He attended Washington School, Jr. and Sr. High School and Independence Junior College. At age twelve, Jim Halsey organized the Junior Marines (ages 9–12) to stimulate war bond sales. They drilled every Saturday at Washington School. Dues were 2 cents per member. A few years later, Halsey formulated his goals after absorbing the story of the great impresario Sol Hurok, in his book “Impresario”. In October 1949, following a vision from a book report assignment on the life of Sol Hurok, junior college student Jim Halsey was inspired to present shows and dances at Memorial Hall and the Independence area. His first show/dance, Leon McAuliffe was the beginning of promotions that would include big band concerts, Broadway shows, classical music presentations, wrestling, ice shows and circuses.
