Mr. Terhune was one of my best professors at AC and I am very saddened about his death. I learned so much from him that has benefited me throughout my career. He liked to use personal stories to make points and I've used those stories ever since then and always attributed them to him and stressed the points he was making. My deepest sympathies to his family. He was a great man. John Kelley - Class of 1977
So sorry for the loss of Mr. Jim. I came to know him through my friendship with Mrs. Phyllis in Bible study class. Many drop- in visits with them that were filled with rich stories of their life. Both were wonderful people and Batesville will miss them, as will I. Love and prayers to you all. ❤️
I credit Jim in saving my college degree coming to AC in my senior year and teaching me many business functions that otherwise I wouldn’t know. And I wasn’t the only one either. I regret now never telling him that but least his kids and grandkids know he was a great teacher and enjoyed having him as a mentor as a 22 year old at that time. My condolences to all his family.
Jim was one of our close friends in high school (Fayetteville High School, Fayetteville, Arkansas, Class of 1957); we followed his career, and that of his wife Phyllis (also a high school friend) with pride even though we were not able to maintain personal contact, throughout our adult lives. Jim is already missed.
