I count myself lucky to have known Richard Friend. He was always upbeat, positive, and quick with a smile or laugh. He made the long weeks of training before we left for Viet Nam tolerable. I would always be glad to have him come by end of the day to sit, talk and laugh. He will always be one of my best buddies.
