Loving Licorce and Lugging the Tuba


Richard’s favourite candy was red licorice.

He liked the green shoelace licorice too.

He would go up to "Jim's Corner Store" which wasn't on the corner. It was up near Briar Hill Elementary School.

He told me, "Licorice was the hardest thing to give up when I got diabetes."

Richard got a scholarship while at Queen Elizabeth High School. He played the tuba and was able to go to a conference for two weeks in Missoula, Montana. He made great music with that down deep Tuba. Not only did he play it but he lugged that big instrument up and down the hill behind our house after school so that he could practice.

Richard was also in the Calgary Stampede Marching Band.
