Richard was my uncle, and though I never met him, I've always heard about him, how he enjoyed being an airborne mortarman. He also lived to hunt and spent more time in the mountains of West Virginia than he probably spent indoors. Used to write home to my dad and my uncle James telling them to take care of his dog. Most I gathered from family stories was that he was a rather quiet person. When he got done with jump school, he came home and showed his brothers and sisters how they had to land by jumping off of the roof of their home.
