Joseph "Joe" Ridgeway was the English teacher at Lovecraft Academy.
History[]
Joe was married to Callie Ridgeway in 1967. They spent their honeymoon in Italy, where they planned to someday retire. Callie went to become Lovecraft Academy in order to become the Head of Admissions. Joe himself soon became an English teacher at the same school. She and Joe eventually had at least one son together.[1] In 1988, Joe and his students put on a successful production of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. Callie eventually died of cancer, supposedly in 2004.[2]
After an interesting encounter, Joe took an interest in Zack Wells, a transferred student who has several mysteries on his hand.[2]
Joe is later murdered by Zack for recognizing him as Lucas Caravaggio. After Joe's murder, Dodge attempted to cover it up by sending an email suicide note from Joe's computer. In it, Callie's death was given as his reason for killing himself.[3]
