12 May 2007 Richard was a foster brother to my first husband, David Coomer. Coincidentally, my own son-in-law is with the 101st Airborne at this time and is deploying to Iraq in September. This is certainly déjà vu for me. From his sister-in-law, Betsey Good Olson 5004 Winesanker Way, Fort Worth, Texas 76133 bgolson@charter.net
