Shauna McGill Schroeder says
Mr. Reedy taught me many things even though he was never my assigned teacher. He was that male figure I needed after my dad died in second grade. He was the one guy who held me accountable for what life had in store for me! He never called me Shauna. To this man I was only McGill, and he would always say it in an Irish accent. Forever I will cherish the time he took to be my Mr.Reedy!
