Rudolph F. Verderber P.h.d.

Dr. Verderber served as Professor of Speech & Forensics at the University of Cincinnati (1966-1969) while I earned my bachelor's degree in Rhetoric & Public Address. He was my teacher and mentor, serving on my Master's Committee in 1976. I kidded him when he used me as a footnote in the first edition of his textbook from debate class that I was going to write a book when I became rich and famous entitled I Began as a Footnote. I never became either, but I attempt to emulate Dr. Verderber...

Dr. Verderber was a very inspirational professor to me during my undergraduate years at the University of Cincinnati. He was kind hearted, and taught well in a very difficult time for the country.

So sorry for your loss. May you keep in mind the hope of life everlasting which can help you cope during this difficult time. John 17:3

I will never forget the day Dr. Verderber realized I was a broadcasting major taking his class. He told me in front of the class, I expect you to be able to cruise thru my class because of your previous instruction. Oh the fun we had in class! He would stop me mid-speech and say, start over, give it some passion. I'd finish my 3-5 minute speech and he would be smiling and laughing. I was the Drama Queen of the quarter! Yes, I learned how to give the correct pause, and how to project correctly...

My prof at UC. Very great teacher and mentor. I learned much from Dr. Verderber. Mary Anne (Ruble) Street.

When someone we love fall asleep in death the memories we have of them become our treasures,may those cherished memories of a life well lived and God's promises at John 6;40 bring you o measure of comfort.
