Description
Teaching the unusual combination of English, Chemistry, and Bible-related courses for young women, Mrs. Riedl became one of the most beloved teachers in the history of David Lipscomb Campus School. Colleagues considered her thorough, detailed, organized, firm yet flexible, and a model of high expectations. Students appreciated her compassion, warmth, encouragement, enthusiasm, ability to treat students equally, and interest in their scholastic and personal lives. She recalled wonderful stories from her years of teaching, yet kept her classes fresh and relevant. After 37 years, she retired in 1998 and worked in university Advancement through 2002, a role model in every way.
