I'm sorry to learn of Dick's death. It appears from his picture that he had changed very little from his high school portrait. Although we weren't close in high school, I remember him as a good student who had a steady nature and pleasant disposition. I appreciate his service to our country and also to the Boy Scouts of America, which I've been involved with for a number of years also. My condolences to his family, and I'm sure he will be missed greatly by them and those who knew him well. R.I.P.
