To Richard's family. Richard attended our first STARTALK program in Glastonbury, CT, back in 2007. He was a wonderful addition to our first class. He was also a helpful friend. When my car broke down, he followed me to the garage so that I would have a ride back to the high school. He will be sorely missed. [I always remember thinking that one day I would like to be able to speak Chinese as well as he did.] Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.
