Richard J. Rudolph, My first boyfriend
Richard was my first real boyfriend in Hannibal, MO when we were in the 7th grade. He sat next to me in a math class where the teacher was greatly feared among the students. She seemed to pick on Richard and me a lot, I guess maybe she knew we were an "item." Richard moved away and I never knew until a few years ago that he had been killed in Vietnam. On June 5, 2000, shortly before midnight I visited a website, not this one, but a similar one and found that he indeed was a casualty. He died on June 6, 1968; ironically I saw this information within an hour of the anniversary of his death. He was a wonderful, funny young man and I am so sorry to learn that the information given to me was true. So many good men taken before their time. May it never happen again!
