Col. William H. Garnder, (retired)

Colonel Gardner, now retired and living in Oro Valley, Arizona, has had an illustrious military career. He can't really tell you much about it because it was in Military Intelligence and he has been sworn to secrecy (and he doesn't want to have to kill you if he spills too many beans.)

​

His first book is his autobiography. He enjoyed writing so much, he has written several more and is currently working on book number 18.

​

You can checkout most of his works on Amazon: Bill Gardner, William Gardner or William H. Gardner

My father, as shall be discussed, put together an autobiography/anthology,

“The Principal of the Thing”, which summarized his life and his 37 years

as teacher/coach/principal at the Riverdale Country School, Riverdale section

of the Bronx, NY from 1919-1957. While of great anecdotal value to the

school, it also represents the story of a good man and great teacher which I

hope our current family has found and future descendants will find interesting.

That is the intention here – to put down my history, which will be fun for

me and as I know where the (few) skeletons are, they will be carefully overlooked

in favor of many other more pleasant memories.
