I have many memories of my classmate that we knew as "Dick." I especially remember while we were in school , Dick John Hudson and myself going to Cub games at Wrigley field and statying with Dick's aunt in Hammond, Indiana. We took a bus from Hammond, then caught the "el and subway" to Wrigley. We saw a lot of the Cubs when they were not very good, but IT WAS THE CUBS. My condolences to the family
