Richard was a Mayer preservationist teaching us all how to showcase historic preservation using architecture & buildings and the built environment! When you completed one of his tours you learned so much and understood how our buildings told stories and represented history. I am a better tour guide and a chronicler of Miami Beach history because of Richard!
I will always remember him!!
