editors and representing the newspaper at everything from United Way meetings to Community Spelling Bees, not to mention his more recent work at SPCC. Bottom line, whatever Jim did, he cared enough to do it right. I truly can't imagine Monroe without him. I look forward to seeing many of you this week as we celebrate Jim's life and what he meant to all of us." Cayla Lockhart: "I still think of Jim everytime i read my fortune cookie. Anyone who has ever eaten Chinese with Jim will understand. Rest peacefully, Jim Muldrow." Randall Hill: "Jim was the Sports Editor when I was there in the 1980s. He was always helpful and pleasant to work with. I was so green because it was my first job out of school and he did a lot to help me learn. Years later, we reconnected via (Facebook) and he was always the first to acknowledge my work he viewed over the web. RIP Jim." Melanie Ballard: "The first April Fool's day I worked at the E-J, Jim handed me one of those pink "while you were out" messages with a number for a Mr. Lyon on it. I went right to my desk and returned the call. It was the number for the N.C. Zoo. I am glad Jim's fight is over but so sorry for the loss Cheryl and his family are suffering." Billy Ball: "I remember that every time the ridiculously high stack of papers at my EJ desk collapsed onto the ground—it was multiple times, I assure you—Jim would dutifully and silently help me clean them up. I'll also remember his chair flying behind him when he stomped off if his Tar Heels or Braves were blowing it. He was a good guy and a lot of fun to work with, I will miss him." Wendy Angel: "I'll forever be grateful for what Jim taught me when I was at the E-J in what was my first journalism internship. Always kind, with a quick quiet wit, and with a load of patience for such a newbie like I was. I'll never forget him." Eddie Yandle: "After the Ashcrafts, Jim WAS the Enquirer-Journal as far as I was concerned. Being 3.3K miles away, it's going to be hard to be physically there, but Cheryl & colleagues, be very clear that our hearts & thoughts are with you." Matt McKenzie: "The Enquirer-Journal was my first job out of college and Jim Muldrow was my first editor. He taught me so much about journalism and what it means to be a good reporter and editor. I'll never forget that and I cherish all those late nights in the newsroom. Godspeed Jim, thank you for everything and my prayers and thoughts are out to your family and loved ones." Elisabeth Arriero: "RIP Jim. You were such an influential part of my early career and - really - early adulthood. I remember one time when I told you I was changing my major from journalism to political science, you drove up from Monroe to Chapel Hill to give me a tour of the J- School and tell me why a journalism degree would ultimately help me more. Ha. I changed my major back to journalism soon after that. You were a humble man who hardly ever made yourself the center of attention but just with your thoughtful advice, kind words and witty humor, you had a huge impact on so many lives. I'll miss you Jimmy. : (" Reprinted with permission.
