“Your continuous accomplishments and contributions are impressive and commendable. They demonstrate your technical knowledge and expertise and each reaffirms your personal and professional commitment to excellence. You certainly do not need accolades from the likes of me but as I have shared with you before, from our very first encounter I perceived you as a ‘no nonsense, do it right and do it right the first time person’. Having observed that in combination with your obvious professional skills, in my opinion, put you at the head of the class. By the way, I'm not sure I ever thanked you for all the things I learned from you, so, Richard, THANK YOU!”
- Ruby E. MacDonnell, Chief, Maryland Mental Health & Hygiene
