I was saddened to read of Richard's passing. We first met in 1970 , and for maybe 15 yrs or so, I saw him fairly often. We had not seen or spoken to one another for many years, but I remember him as an outstanding public servant and sure enough buena gente. Que vaya con Dios! My condolences to his family.
