From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: “Jim Schinneller … a retired University of Wisconsin art professor, died at home Sept. 9 at age 81 … When Jim received the first royalty check in the 1960s for a popular art history textbook he wrote, ‘Art: Search and Self-Discovery,’ he brought home the money in 1,000 single dollars. He had the kids stand at the bottom of the stairs while he rained the money down from the landing above.”
