The children of Richard Stanley Mathews Sr. and Winona (Winnie) Mathews and the children of Godfrey Ivor (Jeff) and Miriam Elizabeth (Betty) Hudson Mathews often played together in their early years when we all lived in LA, CA.  "Dicky", Michael, Patty, Judy Mathews and "Frankie", "Ronnie", Alice, "Barby" and Colleen Hudson.
I especially remember Aunt Winnie standing on her head and turning cartwheels for the kids.  Unfortunately, the Hudson family moved ultimately to San Francisco and lost touch with each other.  I reconnected with "Dicky" and Michael in the '70s when my husband and I drove to Anaheim to visit Uncle Dick.   He had given us their old stand-up piano for our son who was learning to play.  Rick and his wife were having a baby.  Uncle Dick took us to the hospital to visit the family.  Rick, his wife, Michael, Uncle Dick and Aunt Winnie were all present.  Once again, we all lost touch.
I would dearly love to reconnect.  Mary Alice Hudson Brown

I met Rick in 1979, when I reported aboard the USS Leftwich, after having served aboard the USS Miller.  Rick and I were in the same division, and were kindred spirits.  We have been good friends ever since, and have kept touch over the decades.  Rich was well read, and entertaining to be around.  He was a big Chargers fan, and played the guitar.  I remember on one occasion, him strumming the music and singing the words for Puff the Magic Dragon.  He left us too soon, and all who knew him will miss him greatly.  Nancy and my prayers, and thoughts are with his wife Emma, daughters Monera and Traci, and other family members.
