James Diehl McMahon

Mr. McMahon was one of my favorite and best teachers at Rogers high school, class of 1964. I learned so much from him. I was just thinking of him recently, looked him up and was so sad to see he had passed away.

I was Mr. McMahon's student in 10th grade and 12th grade English. He was one of my best memories from high school. I have passed on many of his memorable corny jokes to my own children. I have also used his Dictionary Game with my own children. Thank you for all that you did to effectively educate so many people.

To the Family of James McMahon

Hello Jim !! I visited your home in the mid-seventies as your student, chess club member, and admirering friend. Both you and Terry Rice were my favorite teachers from 1972 to 1976 and shining examples of professionalism and connectivness that warms my reflective thoughts today !!

He poured his life into many. I was blessed to be one of them and remember his class at Lee High well. Thoughts and prayers for his family and many friends.

Within the past couple weeks we talk about his English class and of course, Mythology. We still have pictures of events he took. He was a good man. RIP

Sorry for your loss. I had Mr McMahon for my 10th grade English class at Lee High School. He made the class interesting.

I was a student of his at Godfrey-Lee School. I loved his class. He was funny and interesting.
