I'm sorry, but if this is the Rich that went to St Aloysius grammar school, I am too late. I have tried to find him on line for years. He was my best friend during that time and high school, till he went in the navy, and I went in the army. I sure wish I had the chance to talk to him, one more time. I will add him to my prayers.
