I talked with Richard the day of his doctors appointment, he said 'Tweet when I get back and settle down I'll call you'. That's the last time we talked. I'm heavyhearted as I express my condolences. I'm thankful for having a friend like Richard in my life. Your friend forever, Don 'Tweet' Gales 3451 Pines Rd. Shreveport, LA 71119 318-779-1552
