Hidy y'all,

For those who may not have had the privilege of knowing Jim Arnold as I have,

I'd like to let

you know why I'm thrilled that he has been appointed Assistant Bureau Chief for

EMS.

I have known Jim since he came to this region and have worked with him for the

last 13 years

as a coordinator. He has served on our Advisory Committee at Tyler Junior

College since I

came here in 1989 and has helped our program and all the programs in this

region in countless

ways. He is an advocate of excellence and has taught us much.

Jim has comprehensive knowledge and understanding of EMS at all levels. He's

been there, done

it, got the T-Shirt and the Mug. As an administrator, I can only say that his

replacement

better have size 22's. Jim possesses the unique quality of being able to

listen. He always

sees the big picture and tries to see how things can be made to work rather than

why they

cannot work. He's a positive force rather than a negative force. He promotes

consensus and

agreement. He is one of the fairest people I have ever known. And he's got

something called

common sense that seems to elude so many today.

Texas is indeed fortunate to have Jim Arnold as its EMS Chief, and I ask you all

to help and

support him in his new job.

I have known Jim Arnold to long to recount. I am happy for

him, but hate to loose him out of the Tyler office.
