Zora, so sorry for your loss. Richard's passing was in the St Louis paper and it was a surprise to me. Richard and I go back to our college days at Rolla, and our first job at Carter Carburetor. I also remember when you and Rich babysat for our daughter when we lived in Warren MI.back in 1965. I have lost two wives so I share your sorrow. Peace be with you and your family.
