Hello Klavanowitch family, my name is Irma Brown (nee Lucas). I was very sorry to read of Richard's passing in 2014.
I met Richard in Sydney, Australia about 1956 and we were pen pals for a number of years.
I would love to have some contact by perhaps email with Lillian.
My husband passed away in 2011, so I can appreciate how you must feel.
If you make contact with me, that would be great.
Best Wishes, Irma

Oh Rich, just your smile made everyone smile, and your laugh was so contagious! Where ever you were, it was a fun and happy time. To this day, I remember as a kid seeing you so handsome in your navy uniform. Remembering you and Lil getting married, being together at Grandma's at Camp Lake. Parties at your house, parties at Joey's. Precious memories in my heart forever. Love you! Donna

Softly falls the light of day, as our campfire fades away. Silently each scout should ask, have I done my daily task. Have I kept my honor bright, can I guiltless sleep tonight. Have I done and have I dared, everything to be prepared. May the Great Scout Master of all scouts be with us, 'til we meet again...
