Joan, you have my deepest sympathy. I remember how fun Dick was to work with at Banta all those years ago. Great sense of humor and always a smile. Also remember that Dick always made the Mihm's run on payday for the entire billing dept.
It was great running into Dick at Theda Clark many, many years later. It was a great blast from the past to see him there and catch up. He recognized me right away as I did him.
You and Dick made a great pair, and he clearly loved you so much. Cherish your memories until you meet again.
Sincerely, Sara Steichen
