William Tedford

To my regret, I fell out of touch with Dr. T after leaving Dallas. He was my prof at Oberlin, the only one I formed a relationship with and I´m very saddened to learn of his (and Jean´s) death. At his suggestion, I followed him to SMU where he became interim psych dept chairman, helping me to get in despite a lackluster Obie record. Years later, he chaired my dissertation committee at UTHSCD where I received a doctorate in clinical psychology. I wouldn´t have made it that far without Dr. T´s...

Bill Tedford was my senior project advisor during his brief tenure at Oberlin College, before he moved to Texas. He guided me expertly through this process, with flashes of humor. My search for a suitable graduate program in psychology was aided by his encouragement. Too late to thank him but he will live in memory.

Dr. Tedford was an excellant professor at SMU. Every class session was an experience for everyone. Thank you Dr.

Bill was a true gentleman who always had a story to tell. He will be missed.

My Deepest Prayers and Sympathy. Dr. Tedford was A Very Kind and Sweet Gentleman. It's been An Honor to know Him.

He was one of those professors who make an impact on so many of his students. So blessed to have had the chance to learn from him. May you all find some measure of comfort in knowing he is so well regarded and held in high esteem. My sincere condolences to you.

I thought Mr Tedford was such a great teacher at SMU and I loved psychology because of him. He made it so interesting and fascinating. He was a special man. Terri (Massad) Bumgarner
