 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with sign up or renewal of a two year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Associate Professor Dr. Jim McDaniel serves students at the White'sburg campus of Southeast Community and Technical College for more than 25 years. He died just after midnight Monday. Now he's being remembered for the impact he made on students at the White'sburg campus. I think Jim was always the statesman of the college. He was the gentleman that always had a good quote. According to his Facebook page, Dr. McDaniel already well into his career in education started at the White'sburg campus in 1991. Guidance Counselor Ron Brunty said McDaniel was a stalwart member of the faculty at the college who always had a special bond with his students. As an educator, Jim always challenged students to know more, to think outside the box. That I think they probably take that to heart and understand that they can be better. Complacency is simple for anybody to establish. Jim always challenged you no matter if it's in the classroom or just student activities or something on campus. He always asked you to be the best you could be. It's not uncommon that Jim would work with students that had obstacles and situations rise that impacted the classroom to where he would assure that they would learn the material and still receive it a good grade by the end of the term. McDaniel even in failing health gave his all to the White'sburg campus as students even checking himself out of the hospital to come teach class. Even up to this past spring semester now his dedication and his kindness are being remembered and will endure with those who knew him. Jim was one of those people that would take any student or anybody and help build their confidence. Let them know they're not the only one that may be going through an issue or problem that there are many others just like them and that they can't overcome. Jim was just a great guy all the way around. From the White'sburg campus, Chris Anderson, EKB news.
