Dick, like Gallagher, toils every day from the wilderness and country thatis Whitestone, to the pursuance of elec- trical engineering here in the Bronx. Interrupted, as were so many others in the even tenor of his striving, he has now returned and expects to have finished by August. Quiet and reserved Dick is not known to the generality of his younger classmates. But those who have worked and lived with him appreciate to the full his urbanity, gentlemanliness and the success he has attained. 106 RICHARD T.
