James Waldron Arnold

Jim was the first professor I had in J-school and then he was my magazine-writing professor later on. His encouragement meant a lot to me. May his memory always be a blessing.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. May you all share in the memories you have together over the years. -Jennifer Graham

Professor Arnold was a favorite professor of mine when I was a graduate student at Marquette. My writing improved significantly whenever I took his classes, which I did at every opportunity. I attended his literary journalism class twice - once for credit and another for my edification. What I liked most about Professor Arnold's teaching was how very well he knew his subject; he also knew how to make suggestions about writing that, when applied, brought results. Not one to flatter, he called...

My sympathies to Jim's family. I worked in the media center for many years and my staff supported his teaching. We were good friends and I was always impressed by how sage and professorial he was. I may be imagining the corduroy coat with patched elbows - but, I think not. Great member of the faculty and much loved by his students.

When I first decided to go to grad school in journalism, I wanted to go into film criticism. I took all the courses there were but alas, there were so few. All of them were taught by Prof. James Arnold including some photography classes. I will always remember Prof. Arnold was a very nice and gentle man who cared about his students. Maria C.

My deepest condolences to Julia and her family. Your dad's life was amazing, and it seems like he touched many lives. I'm sure his greatest accomplishment though was his family! You will all be in our thought. Love & peace to you all.

Deepest condolences to all the Arnold clan from us Pintars. Jim and Gerry were our parents' dearest friends. With love now and always, Kathryn (for all the Pintars)

My deepest sympathy to the Arnold Family. May God grant you strength during this difficult time.
