For years, Bill Liedman has been as much a fixture in Kimball as the water tower — tall, but maybe not that tall.
Liedman, 65, who is retiring as a mathematics instructor at the high school after more than 30 years, grew up locally. His Dad, Carl, was the town barber and a member of the city council. His mother, Annette, was active in the Red Cross. Little Bill had a paper route and attended Kimball Area Schools, graduating from high school in 1965.
“I grew up active,” Liedman said of following his parents’ lead.
It was at KHS that two math instructors — Dick James and Vern Busho — had a dramatic impact on Liedman.
