I did not graduate from Tiptonville. My father, Joseph D. Reding, was a teacher/principal there in the 1930's-1940's. I was a student in the elementary school from about 1939-1943 when we moved to Memphis, Tennessee and my father began teaching Math at Snowden Junior High School. He later taught Chemistry and Physics at Treadwell High School in Memphis.

My cousin, Mike Reding, discovered this site doing genealogy work about his father, my uncle.
