Description

Robert Childress was far more than the custodian for the David Lipscomb Campus School building from 1946 until retiring in 1976. He was one of the reasons students and faculty alike enjoyed coming to school each day. Described as one of the humblest people on campus, he was always courteous, friendly, unassuming, loyal, and dependable. He was diligent and consistent in his work. His smile was infectious, and no task could challenge his positive attitude or his smile. Actions do speak louder than words: By influence he was as effective as any of the most highly trained teachers at Lipscomb.
