The following is from the Searles Valley Slate April-June 2022:
Dick and his wife, Cindy, became members of the SVHS after moving to Trona upon their retirement. Both Dick and Cindy were substitute docents at the Old Guest House Museum. They were also part of the group that organized the Trona Centennial in 2014.
Dick was the editor of the Searles Valley Slate for several years, always filling it with interesting and entertaining articles. He designed the logo of the newsletter that we still use today.
We of the Searles Valley Historical Society send our deepest sympathy to Dick’s Family. He will be missed very much.
So sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. We have been trying to locate Dick and Cindy for several years. Please pass this note to Cindy and ask her to contact me when possible. Thank you…. Judi Matlock
