Hello, my name is Richard but everyone calls me Rich. I do feel wealthy many great opportunities have come my way to make me feel this way. I’m not a Silicon Valley gazillionaire but I pay the bills and enjoy the richness I have been given. Like a loving wife of nearly 30 years, a beautiful and intelligent daughter, a lovely home in Indiana, a fulfilling job at Stanford University and social and spiritual bounty of attending a church with a diverse congregation. So all in all this is a nice place to brag.

Some other blessing to befall me have been a chance to live in 3 countries, 5 states and 10 cities. I have visited many more places my current favorite place to visit is Puerto Rico, I hope to visit more often as my Spanish improves. In all my travels I have discovered one constant that is people are pretty much the same everywhere and just like Will Rogers “I never meet a man(person) I didn’t like”.
