He was a clarinet player of sorts so he joined the field art llery band of which he became drum major ip his junior year. It was in the March of 1943, however, after having served as drum major for only two months, that he beard the call to arms and joined the air force upon the insistance of Uncle Sam. T Riedel had not tim^ t° P' n on his newly Won wings before he was shipped! to England as a first lieu tenant. I Even then he believed in doing aj lot on a short time for he completjed 35 bombing missions aboard (a B17 in one year. All his raids were made after the invasion and about' the time of the battle of the “bulge”. What could have been disaster nearly put a stop to Riedel’s activ ities. One day the plane he was flying >vas hit over Germany but the fire did not break out: until he had reached Belgium. It was at this point that Riedel apd his crew' judiciously abandoned: ship. They finally made their wayj back to Briton; j Returns to A&M Veteran Riedel returned to A&M in 194p and graduated thej next summer with a bachelor ojf sci ence degree in industrial educa tion, Three year* later he won his master’s degree. It was Just before his gradua tion that Riedel married it iYork- town neighbor, Mary Jo pudur- stndt, a graduate of Texas U. Now he Is the father of two very young but promising hoys, fylark, two years <>f age, and David who is only one. Riedel likes to tell this! story on himself. The year he was selected drum major of the band, an order was put out by the military department suggesting that seniors not buy boots but spend the money on war bonds. The last day before enter ing the air force, Riedel boldly strapped on hi* boots and lead the band in a review. He says the of ficial frowns he got that day con ditioned him for the troubles he was to know in the service. - TLSA - (Continued from Page 1) TISA Is and What It Can Do” will be discussed.
