I did not know my uncle all too well, but we shared a love for genealogy research (albeit vastly different interests). Richard was a kind, humble and highly intelligent man. I have two books that he wrote in his later years, An Account of My Life (Xlibris Corporation) and De Reditu Suo of Claudius Rutilius Namatianus (Blue Bonnet Books).
