To Ann and family,
Myra and I were saddened to hear of your loss of Dick. While in the Air Force, Dick and I were assigned together at the Personnel Center in San Antonio. I fondly remember working and playing together with you and Dick (at the dude ranch, etc.) while in San Antonio. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Ann, Barbara and I were very saddened by Dick's sudden death. He was one of my favorite Personnel Center personalities! I accidentally ran into him near my office here in Wash, D.C. a dozen years ago and found him to be the same old Dick Reid...a joy to be around. We have your family in our prayers.
