James Buhn

Probably late to do this. I owe Mr Buhn endless gratitude. I told him this also in person. I loved the idea of Physics and was very interested. I was not good with Math. One day he told me that my grades were not so good, but he know I was interested in music and in performance. He said that tonight on PBS, channel 9, would be a broadcast of Bertolt Brecht's "Galileo" and if I wrote a good paper, I would get a B in his class. I watched. That was one of the most transforming moments in my...

I was sorry to learn of Mr. Buhn´s passing. He was my science teacher in the late 70´s and a wonderful human being. He was an excellent teacher. He was an inspiration, and influenced me to pursue a career and science and technology.

Mr. Buhn will always be one of my favorite teachers. Intelligence, kindness, patience, and humor personified.

I loved Mr. Burn´s class. He was a wealth of knowledge and gave in-depth interesting answers. I admired him for his intelligence and strive to be someone who is a wealth of knowledge like him. Ana D. Class of `82

I first met Jim Buhn while I was serving him food at COGIR in Rohnert Park. It was an honor to serve him before he moved out. All my highest respects and condolences are now with his family. The COGIR Rohnert Park Community and I would like to say thanks for allowing us to serve him and being a friend of his.

I first met Jim Buhn in 7th grade, and then each year through 12th. Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Calculus, Physics and Chemistry. My brother preceded me by four years but was also taught by Jim. My first day with him, seventh grade, we were telling him our names as he filled out his seating chart. I told him my name, Alan Miller, and he looked up and asked; "Do you have a brother named David?" I said that, yes, I did. Jim had this big grin on his face and we moved on. My brother had a...

Deepest sympathies to the family. I was fortunate to have been chosen to skip 8th grade math and instead have Algebra I from Mr. Buhn, followed by Geometry in 9th grade. What a blast! I also had Giovando and Ringstad in high school, but Mr. Buhn was the best! May he rest in peace.
