followup to Charlotte-- I am exiting Facebook as Kenneth P. which has caused a lot of confusion, but will sign back up as just Paul and send friend requests. Lots of family history photos to share!

Paul, so glad you and your sisters were able to get together. I think of Richard whenever I see the books he recommended that I read or see a hibiscus.

On the anniversary of RIchard's passing, our sisters Dawn and Wendy joined me for two days in the Charlottesville area where he went to graduate school at UVA. We visited Montpelier and Monticello marveling at all the new information available there, and shared pictures of one another with Richard.

I just found out about the passing of Richard. He was one of kindest people that I ever met. He would always be sure to say Hi whenever I saw him at any event for HP Hood. I will miss him. May he rest in peace. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
