Bill currently works as a physician at University of Cincinnati Health in emergency medicine and neurocritical care. He is a leader in the medical community and an expert in his field. Bill was a presenter at a workshop for health professionals and coaches that addressed sports-related head injuries. His knowledge and training provided a basis for the development of a concussion protocol at Moeller to support students who sustain such injuries. Bill once again provided his medical expertise when Moeller started planning for the return to school during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the long hours and the demands of working in a hospital during the pandemic, Bill was willing to serve as a consultant to the COVID-19 committee throughout that summer. He also made time to participate in the parent town halls and attend the opening faculty and staff meeting to address any concerns related to COVID-19 protocols at the school.

Bill Knight is a man of integrity committed to using his intellect and medical training to be of service to others. He and his family are parishioners at St. Columban in Loveland.

didn’t know everything; that teaching was a two-way street. It’s never about what we learn, but how. One of our academic deans once said to the whole Moeller staff, ‘Always remember that each of our students is someone’s ‘special boy’ and I have always held onto that idea.”

Many former students have returned to become colleagues and recall this very approach. “Señora Raymond always found ways to get all of her students involved in every class, and always had a smile on her face,” history teacher Eric Schmitt ’07 recalls. “Her international life experiences gave her a unique perspective on a variety of topics not just for Spanish, but for life.” Moeller President Marshall Hyzdu ‘96 added, “Britt was my first teacher at Moeller. She brought such energy to the Spanish classroom. She’s continued with her positive energy in the building to this day and will forever be missed by all of us.”

And, Britt will miss Moeller.

“I’ve loved it,” she said with a smile. Memories of her and husband Joe at the Main Event (“We go every year and bid on the most wonderful trips and items— always a great night.”); creating the yearbook class from scratch; numerous educational tours to Mexico and Spain through the decades; young men who still open doors (“Yes, it’s a real thing here.”); the dedication and fun (if you can believe it) to always produce the best yearbook ever (“I sometimes wake in the middle of the night with an idea for one of the yearbook pages, and I have to get up to write it down.”) Chuckle if you will, but also take a look at any Moeller yearbook produced in the last twenty-plus years. Each one is unique, meticulous, and, yes, affectionate in capturing another year of her Moeller family.

Now to retirement. “I don’t want to be in mothballs,” she affirmed and already has plans to take her three grown children (including Moeller grad Jon ’98) back to Norway for the first time to visit relatives, eat risgrøt, and ride polar bears to the grocery store for more risgrøt.

“Every day is a treat,” Señora Raymond reflected. Or, said another way, “Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær.” In short, “Trust in God; you don’t need to give Him a roadmap.”

And wherever she travels to next, we can trust the place will be better for it. We know Moeller is.
