R L RichardsonBorn in 1946 in Montana after WWII to Lee and Ruby Richardson. I grew up as most baby boomers in rural America. My mother was a stay at home mom and my father worked on ranches, the railroad and bartended. In Montana one had to be versatile. We were ot rich, not even middle class but raised with much love. We had ample food to sustain us, clothes on our back and a roof over our heads. Growing up we had no concept of poverty, but watching my father during hard times gave me incentive to work hard to make ends meet as he did. I dropped out of school at 16 because I had already learned everything they had to offer. At 17 I joined the Navy but was fortunate enough not to have to go to Vietnam. Met my wife in 1970 and had 55 years of stellar adventures some of which I speak of in this book. I am an eclectic artist and now I hope to add author to my resume. Many people have heard many of my stories and have often suggested I write a book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Read More Read Less
