Elinor, you have been such a good friend. My sympathy to you and your family. Ann O'Brien

James McMahon My association with Dick extended over a 25 year period while he worked for UW-Planning and Construction and I worked at the Department of Administration Bureau of Engineering and Energy Management. One of my jobs was to review agency requests to fund mechanical and energy conservation projects and projects that provided major maintenance of these systems. Whenever I had questions on these requests, I knew that Dick was the "go to" person on campus to answer them. I was always amazed that when I'd walk into Dick's office to meet with him his desk top, desk drawers, table top and filing cabinet were piled high was letters, reports, and requests and yet when I'd ask him a question about a particular project, he could reach into a pile and pull it out. Truly amazing. Sure we had our differences about the value of some requests, but Dick was always a professional, never raised his voice, and was a great ambassador for the University.

Lorna, So sorry to hear of your dad's passing! I have missed being in contact with you all of these years - I think that the last time we talked was right before you went to New Zealand. We have many years to catch up on, my dear Kendall Avenue roommate! Lynn (Bainbridge) Zick
