Oh, Richard! I so enjoyed working with you at Juvenile Court back in the 80's. You had a great, calm way of meeting the Juvenile offenders and their parents, officers, for Intake. You were the o e! I think of you every time I buy eggs, as you taught me to roll them in their case to see if they were broken and stuck to the bottom of the crate! You were a wonderful, dear friend! Here's to you and your great smile!
