James D. Bristol

I was fortunate to have Mr. Bristol as my AP Math teacher 1960-1963. He was by far the best teacher I ever had... at Shaker Heights High School, Northwestern University and Kellogg. We learned not just geometry, calculus and trigonometry, but more importantly the thought process in solving problems. And he taught in a way that made the subject material easy to understand, while showing respect for each student in our class.

He had a huge influence on my life!

Me Bristol was my AP math teacher 1964-66. Had a huge impact on my education. An amazing teacher. I think of him often and just came across this opportunity to express my thanks. January 2018

Thankyou to all who have responded to this guest book.
Jim was liked and respected by so many. The memorial service was truly a "Celebration of Life". He will be remembered !

We were deeply saddened to learn of Jim's passing. We've thought of the family so many times since September 11th and would like to share your thoughts of the events.

We are leaving for San Diego and will not be able to attend the memorial services. We will call on our return.

I knew Jim when he was teaching at
Shaker Heights. I also worked with
him on the Cleveland Council of
Teachers of Mathematics. He was
really a great teacher.
