Richard Duane Osborn

West Point, 1958

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Mary Kay Olson on September 17, 2000:

My memories of Dick......I called on Kay one evening and went to visit, their little boy was sick....Kay and I worked trying to figure how to help this little boy keep food down. They had a brand new baby, between us we figured something out. A week later Dick and Kay showed up at our door with their children in a wagon and their son was very healthy again. What joy.
The second big memory is having Dick come to Bob's memorial service at Jefferson Barrack. What a gift to have special people share a huge experience like that.
I wish that I could be with you for your service.....thank you for being there. My prayers are with all of you.
Mary Kay
