James A. W. Powell set high standards in the advanced math classes at Finneytown during the 1960's through the 1980's.
Jim attended Wheaton College before joining the Army during World War II. After the war, he married Louise, his wife 47 years, came to Cincinnati and went to U.C. where he earned his B.S. and M.Ed. degrees. He taught at St. Bernard for 11 years before coming to Finneytown for the next 24 years. He retired in 1984.
Following the death of one of their three children, Jim and Louise helped to establish a national support group called "Parents of Murdered Children," whose headquarters are here in Cincinnati.
Jim is most proud of his marriage, the success of his children and teaching. Jim says that he likes keeping in touch with some of the best students in the world! Jim enjoys his vegetable gardening and working in an 8-acre woodland in Adams County.
