Fr. Riehle was the rector of Pangborn Hall where I lived. His Masses were short and to the point. Often times, Saturday afternoon Mass happened during halftime of an important sporting event. These Masses were known as the Pangborn Express.

I remember one parent leaving Mass, saying, "It was 20 minutes. He had a homily and he was good." That was Fr. Riehle.

I also have great memories of seeing him on the golf course and walking down the hall at Pangborn smoking his cigar. often, you could smell him before you heard him.

Go irish!!!
