James R. Kniss

Graduated from High school with Jimmie in 1946 and fished with his dad for trout at Spring Creek, State College, Pa. I also served in the Army In Japan and Korea.Madera High was a great school led by his father.

Hello! I am--right now--sitting at Towson University (TU) listening to orientation for my son. The speaker is talking about how a TU professor who helped her pass a class. Essentially, the speaker came to the professor after failing an initial exam. The professor helped her and the speaker passed the class. Hearing her story made me remember my similar experience when I went to TU from 1989-1991. My professor then was James Kniss. He was my Statistics professor. After I failed my first exam in his class, I went to him for help and he helped me tremendously. Ultimately, through his kindness and generosity of his time, I finished his class with a B. I was so proud and learned a valuable lesson. To date, James Kniss is the professor I remember by name from my time at TU. Although 10 years late, RIP Mr. Kiss. 🙏
