"You spend so much time in the outdoors, you're going to turn into a tree," his father said. Richard whetted his appetite for adventure by hitchhiking across most of Canada in 1962. Then worked for the Ontario government in James & Hudson Bays, later earning the title of chess champ in 1967. And wrote his first story about Al Comfort, a friend who drowned in the Moose River. He developed a background for story material with positions as a Miner, News Reporter, Court Worker, Welfare Case Worker, Social Assistance Administrator and Home for Aged Administrator. In between busy career moves, he began to write poetry and his favourite poets became Raymond Souster, a friend and Archibald Lampman, who wrote wonderful imagery. Richard is very proud to be associated with WFNS, and to have been a Writer in the Schools for eight years, before his stroke in 1999. He also cherishes being part of a poetry reading at Dalhousie University, and a public reading of his stories at the Truro, Colchester Regional Museum.
