Richard and I were in school together from 1st to 12th grade. I believe it was in 6th grade that our teacher gave him the nickname Pro, for professor. By 8th grade his friends, including me, had changed his nickname to Crow. In 8th grade I taught him the correct technique for punting a football and he became one the the best punters in our class. Wish I could talk to him again.

I was very sorry to hear about Richard. We were classmates at St. Anne's and St. Michael's. So many times I meant to drop in on him in Las Vegas. Not too many like Richard. My condolences to all family and friends.
