Dr McJimsey was one of my history professors in the late 1960's. It was obvious that he enjoyed what he was doing and conveyed a love of American History to his students. He was a wonderful storyteller and had a positive impact on students for decades. Shortly after attending one of his classes, I changed my major and became a social studies teacher for over 40 years.
Dr. McJimsey was an thoughtful and well-liked history professor when I attended ISU in the early 1970's. As a history major, I enjoyed attending his excellent classes because it was evident he loved history and sharing his enthusiasm with his students.
Dr. McJimsey was one of the finest professors at ISU. He told me that surprise is the essence of humor. He surprised me because he did not seem to be a jocund man.
I was in a couple of Dr. McJimsey's history classes as an ISU undergrad over 50 years ago. He was a great scholar and teacher, and he had a great love of his craft - quiet yet passionate, erudite, and animated in working to share the narratives of history to a room full of young adults. His passion and love of history led me to take other history courses (a second minor!) and to appreciate the value of a great teacher. I've thought of him occasionally over the years, and am sorry for his family.
So sorry . Sending condolences. A talented and community-minded person who will be missed Pat Brown
