Stories about his win appeared in all the newspapers. One day he received a card from the librarian. She told Richard how proud she was of his accomplishments. Richard was touched by those words then, and still so emotional about them that he had to pause, speaking through his tears. He realized the librarian prob ably did not know what a big part she played in his success. Two years later, he got a call from one of the librarian' s children. She had died and her family wondered if he would he come to the funeral? He decided to make the trek and flew from Alberta to St. Catharines to pay his respects. Once he arrived at the church, the li brarian' s five adult children surrounded him; they had never met Richard, but they embraced him in a group hug. They told him he was a central figure in their upbringing. Their mother always talked about Richard at home, telling her kids about what he was reading or learning. They said they were never allowed to complain about their own lives or struggles in school, because their mom would say, "Took what Richard is doing and he has so little." The kids felt they owed much of their own success to Richard' s inspiration. Ruth and I are fairly certain that Rich ard ended his talk by encouraging us to treat the homeless with respect, and to help them. We cannot be sure though, as we were so emotional and looking at him through tears. We were both thinking about the homeless customers who spend time in our library and how we might help them. We never felt so proud to be librar ians as we did that evening or more resolved to treat the homeless with re spect and understanding. We will miss Richard' s voice, but his stories remain with us.
