I remember Dick. We shared a common interest, but I no longer remember what that was! I do remember the last time I saw him. We had both gone into the service in 1962....he into the Marines and me into the Army. As it turns out we both completed our hitches in 1965. I was working for Skyline Homes in Elkart in 1966. Something took me from my desk to the reception area, and there he sat! We spent a few minutes catching up, and I headed back to my desk. I never knew what position he was applying for, or whether he got it. I had put in notice and was leaving Skyline to go back into uniform. I had actually missed it. Went into the Air Force for another 17 years, retiring with 20 years total in 1983. Really sorry to learn of Dick's passing, as well as that of all the other classmates we've lost over the last 62 plus years.
