Two Stories of Rich's Kindness and Humor: (1) I still recall being the new employee at CMI with Rich as Dir of Engineering. He was having a big meeting discussing some production problem. Out of the blue he asked me, "You're the new guy with the fresh perspective, what do you think? What would you suggest?" That was Rich--a rare combination of smart, kind, considerate, and always welcoming. (2) Ok...and now my funny story. I showed Rich some Time magazine science article-snippet mentioning that some scientist at Dupont had discovered some aphrodisiac chemical compound for animals. So I asked Rich, "What do you think...it is darn close to April Fool's day?" Not one to miss out on a good prank...Rich had me fill out a CMI PO for 10,000 gallons of the stuff and told me, " Hand it to Joyce (purchasing) and tell her I need this quote immediately." (Rich actually signed it.) So off Joyce goes...calling all over Dupont. Finally, she shows back up laughing hysterically, "You guys!! They transferred me to a scientist who exclaimed, '10,000 gallons!!...lady, do you know what this is???"
