I used to baby sit for Richard and his wife Carol when they lived in Manistique Michigan. She was a teacher at the local elementary school. They both taught guitar and banjo lessons. He worked at the local radio station, She was one of my favorite teachers. She had a wonderful singing voice as did he. Just wondering what ever became of the two and wouldn’t mind getting in touch with them.
