Introduction

Hello.

I am Richard of Galveston.  Galveston Island is where I was born and lived the first years of my life.  It is and always has been a part of my identity.

I am going to tell you the stories of my life, and in so doing tell my life story. I will only tell the truth; as I remember it and understand it.  It will be from my perspective, it will be without exaggeration or embellishment.  I will do my best to tell the complete story.

I hope that you will find it interesting.
