I’m so sorry to learn of Dr. D’s (as I affectionally called him) passing. I am so blessed to have worked in his presence/guidanace. His caring ways will always be a part of my life. I’m sending my heartfelt sympathy to the Daughdrill Family during his berevement. It is at this time that God is caring you. As you look back, you will see the footprints in the sand. I love you Ms. Libby and Gail!!!
I am grateful for the work of Jim Daughdrill. He came to Southwestern at a difficult time and found a way to turn it around. As Student Body President during some of those early years I found him to be easy to work with. He was always willing to listen and would try to find a way to make life and education better for students. He will always be a part of the memories of my college years. My condolences to the family-
Liz and I are sorry that we can not be there to honor Jim. He was our friend and confidant for many years , and was talented in so many ways. Jim will be missed by all who knew him. Tommy&Liz Farnsworth
