What a great write up for Arthur. It brought back so many memories from when we were little and Arthur and my Dad would play chess at the lake in the summer or we would stop by Crosby's boat yard to see him in the evening. Then he was my teacher in junior high, then a favorite colleague of one of my friends who went into teaching. There was a stretch when we had the Klipschorns in our living room and I would show them off to friends.

He was always saying to students at school - "Do what you want - you just have to accept the consequences". It was a great way to look at things.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. Arthur fulfilled many roles in life. His role as a missionary demonstrated his desire to help others. His compassionate toward others will be remembered by many who knew him. More importantly, Arthur is in the memories of God.

My love of Shakespeare came from your dad and I even named my favorite cat Shakespeare years later. He was a great man and teacher.

My deepest condolences. Mr. Hull, as I knew him at Walpole High School, was by far my favorite teacher. I´m not sure whether it was his reading of Beowulf out loud or his lesson on how to structure a paragraph that made me adore this teacher, but one class with him and you were hooked. Now 40 years after I sat in his English class I am still quoting him, and I taught my kids about skinning a cat. (There are 3 ways to skin a cat. 1) cut its head off and pull the skin over its tail, 2) cut its tail off and pull its skin over its head, or 3) cut it in the middle and pull the skin off both ways. Those are the ways to skin a cat.) I hope he knew, and I hope you all realize, the type of lasting impact he had on his students. Know that he is fondly remembered by many.

What a wonderful obituary! Art was 2 years ahead of me at NHS - wish I had stayed in touch, he obviously was a terrific person. BTW, I served in the Peace Corps, wondered if he served through the Experiment in Living from Putney VT, a model for PC and a first training site.
