Description
Jim Stell grew up in Milwaukie before enrolling at Lewis & Clark in 1956. As an undergraduate, He lived off-campus with his family, commuting to school in his black 1949 Ford. He pledged a fraternity as a freshman, where he worked as secretary and record-keeper, met older GI’s from the Korean War and made lifelong friends. Over the summer, he gave tours through the Oregon Caves, along with 60 students from colleges across the nation. Just after the creation of the Associated Students of Lewis & Clark, Stell represented the senior class as one of its two senators. During senior year, he met a blonde, incoming freshman who became his wife. Stell majored in education, and his student teaching experience landed him a job in the Milwaukee school district for 32 years as a teacher, and later principal. He recently retired.
