What a wonderful publication the Country Almanac has been--a real asset to the communities you serve. Thank you for your guidance over the years, and I know it will continue to be a shining beacon highlighting important news and investigative reporting. Your support for community organizations has been unmatched. With Renee at the helm, I'm know all of this will continue.

Richard,
All the best to you. As you know, us old editors don't really retire, we just think of new projects to do. Hope whatever you decide is enjoyable.

Umpa -
We are so proud of all your work and that of the whole Almanac team!
The South Bay and really the whole Bay area was lucky to have you all these years -- fighting for the Fourth Estate.
You honor all of us with your very public service.
Thank you!
Love,
Your Family and Friends

Goodbye Richard. It is impossible to pack all the good times and bad over the 25 years we worked together into a brief comment. I'll just say we can both look back with no regrets. I would also say that your dedication to duty--on nights, weekends and right up to and beyond deadline never ceased to amaze me. I don't think you got much sleep around deadline over the years. You were a master at keeping a million balls in the air and bringing them down as a complete Almanac.
All the best and keep in touch

I worked as a reporter at The Almanac under Richard's guidance for two years. He was a fantastic boss and mentor, and had a HUGE (if mostly invisible) role in making the paper what it is. I'm a lawyer now, and think of Richard whenever I'm working with another attorney on a brief. He was so smart and gentle in giving feedback and guiding a story where it needed to go. He made me a much better writer. He will be greatly missed by the journalism community, but The Almanac won't miss a beat with Renee. Miss you guys, good luck all.
