Richard's Story
Gone! '50s duck-tail pompadoodle is GONE. Ugly remnant, right?
3 PCC semesters before Cal Poly SLO, Delta Sigma Phi, Prez Blue Key National Honor Fraternity, Student Body Secretary, '60 "Who's Who" and BS Math majoring in structural/civil engineering, ROTC DMG with a US Army Combat Engineer Commission, Airborne, two year Germany active duty. Returned to command a Reserve Maintenance Company in Reno, NV. Designed and built custom homes with Dad. '64 marriage resulted in two adopted sons, made two daughters, - otherwise disastrous union she ended after six years, rebounded to another equally disastrous six years. So ended marital bliss pursuit!

f which were namesakes, even if I said they could call them "Rich" or "Rick" instead. Alas.
Moved to Rocky Mount NC near two kids' families in 2006 after tending to my Mom until the Lord said He's take her. I went on two fulfilling Christian mission trips Guatemala. Otherwise enjoy golf (only one ace - so far) and fishing. My kids thought to satisfy my salmon fishing trip to Alaska bucket list, but then reasoned that I would probably want to return, so forgot it. I have sung in Church choirs and a community chorus - some bassi are profundos (powerful solo operatic quality), but I am a basso disgusto. I love New York Times and other crosswords, Sudoku, etc. Stopped 43+ year smoking habit (incurred in first marriage) six years eight months eight days 14 hours 23 minutes ago as of this writing - but who's counting?
Still here? Glutton.
