Jim Arnold leaves Ohio.com, going to grad school

Friday was Jim Arnold's last day at Ohio.com, the Beacon Journal online site. He will be attending grad school in the Fall at Kent State University to complete work on a master's degree and will be teaching a few classes.

"I've been teaching for the past three semesters at Kent and thought it was time to take advantage of the free credit hours that come with teaching," Arnold said.

There have been some significant changes on Ohio.com and Arnold apparently decided he would rather channel his career efforts in a different way.

Arnold started at the Beacon in February, 1994 as photo edtor and with Ohio.com in March, 1996. He started with Knight Ridder in 1990 in South Carolina at The State newspaper.

The Beacon loses another quality person from my days at the BJ. Good luck, Jim! You deserve it.

Another BJer is off to Kent State, the Beacon annex. Good luck with the studies Jim. I told you this internet stuff is just a passing fancy.......
