Richard, Peter and I used to hitchhike to Carrroll together. Grateful to know Richard. He had this unique way about him that you never forget. I remember that he made me laugh especially on those morning when tensions were high as we realized that we might have to face dinky for being late one more time. ! My warm condolences to all his family and friends. Gratitude John Frank
