Richard and Robert... the twins, a couple of very unforgettable characters in my life I must say. I can hear Sister Mildred now... you boys tuck in your shirt tail, sit up straight and you will eat everything on your plate. First grade was a long time ago but still fresh in my mind... what fun it was. Thanks Robert, Richard and Leo Thiel, my thought and prayers are with you all.
