Does anyone know how to get in touch with Mr. Richards?

[Camilla (Parks) Rhyne]

I would like to contact Mr. James Richards, Band Director, but don't know how. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Thanks

[Joel Rancifer Gearring]

I HOPE someone can answer that, bcuz I had heard he passed

[John White]

I heard the same, but I didn't wanna be the first to say that, not knowing if it was true.

[Camilla (Parks) Rhyne]

Oh... I so hope that's not true. Hopefully someone can confirm.

I had heard a couple of years ago that he had passed

[Ramon Key]

Let me know if you get in touch with him.

[Ramon Key]

[Ronald "Dru" Caffey]

He graduated from Lane College.

Not wanting to add to the mayhem, I opted not to say anything. However, I asked Mrs. Parker (now-retired, principal's assistant) and she told me that she would check with some people to double check. I told her that we were trying to find out because many of us heard rumors on his passing. As soon as I can get some firm details, I'll post.

Hope that helps.

Hello Er'body,

I was able to confirm that Mr. Richards is alive & well. Mrs. Parker told me today. I asked her if she could get some contact information because some former students are looking for him. She said she would. As soon as I get some more additional information, I will post.

Thanks for being patient.

Thank you Tiffany for investigating and finding an anwser. I'm very happy to hear the positive news. Also thank you Nicole for the additional information. I hope we can get Mr. Richards to come to the class of 89 reunion. I want to tell him about my time at Lane College.

[Camilla (Parks) Rhyne]

Yay! Thanks so much Tiffany. I'll be looking forward to getting that information.

FYI, James Richards is alive!! He's my GodFather. He still lives on the So. Side of Chicago, near CVS. He left Kenwood in 1993 ( I think) and spent a brief stint at So Shore HS. He suffered some medical probs but is still pretty fiesty! I will let him know former students are looking to get in touch! Once I get the ok, I'll post his info.
