JAMES L. SNODGRASS

I just recently learned of Jim's passing. He was a cousin to my husband on his mother's maternal side of the family and we worked on the family history together. He was an extraordinary man and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Being out of touch for many years, I only learned of Jim's passing recently. While belated, I wanted to offer some comments. Jim was one of only a few teachers in my years of education that made a significant impression on me. His history class was the most rewarding and enjoyable class I had in my three years (1967-70) at Webb. As the headmaster, he also was a source of encouragement and support in my transition as a teenager from Michigan to the South, a challenging cultural experience. ...

Jim was a wonderful man and teacher. I will always be thankful for the opportunity he gave me to teach and coach at Webb for 31 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and the family.

One afternoon in our eighth grade Latin class, almost half a century ago, the regular teacher was out and Mr. Snodgrass was our substitute. He gave us, in those 45 minutes, an absolutely fascinating overview of the history of the Roman empire, without notes - and even more importantly, he gave us a lifelong love of history.

Jim Snodgrass was very definitely "Mr. Snodgrass" to me from the 7th grade when I entered Webb through the 12th grade when I graduated. Upon graduation from college I became a fellow teacher under his leadership in the Upper School, and he encouraged me to call him "Jim." Because of the very high respect he commanded in my life, that was a difficult transition to make, but my respect was not at all diminished by coming to know him in a different context. I was just quoting him the week...

While a student at Webb, I really did not appreciate the values and knowledge that Jim Snodgrass gave to me. But as I have grown older, his somewhat harsh words of enouragement have made me a better person. Thank you Mr. Snodgrass and may you rest in peace.

Mr. Snodgrass had a very positive influence on my life. He is a great man, and I am fortunate to have attended Webb during his tenure. My prayers are with his family.
