I am so blessed to have been able to get to know Richard.  My father and he were cousins.  His grandmother and my gt grandmother were sisters and came to the USA from Germany.  His father Earnest, was one of the main people in getting the Airport in Columbus, Ohio (CMH) built.  Richard's  father developed the runway lights for  airports.  We had corresponded as family and he came to Columbus, Ohio and stayed with us when they had a "75th Anniversary of the Airport",  he was invited to honor his father.  He had a special invitation and he took my husband and I with him,  My husband is a pilot and had flown out of the airport many times and it was so fun to be part of the history.  I have not heard from Richard for several years and I was just planning to send him a note and I was looking for him to be sure he still had the same address I found this.  I am so sad that I had not been able to contact him in the last few years.  He was a delight to meet and spend time with,   I have lots of great stories and photos of his grandmother Rosa Leberer Stork and my father had shared memories of  Aunt Rosa (Richards grandmother) and her wonderful cooking and spending time at her home in Columbus.  Rosa came to the USA to help her sister (my gt grandmother) run their hotel / restaurant in Put-in-Bay, Ohio in 1880.  If anyone reading this wants to learn more about Richards family history please contact me I would love to know how he spent his last years and share family history.  Sincerely,  Barbara McKnight.
