More than any other Member of the Mowglis family, Richard has been a constant presence sometimes on a daily basis, sometimes for two or three weeks each summer along with nearly every weekend.
His trombone, along with that of Bob Bengtson, has spurred Red Racing crews for generations to say nothing of his participation in the brass choir.

His modesty belies an impressive intellect; his kindness, a keen sense of observation of human nature and our duty to our brothers and sisters: two-legged, four-legged, and birds that fly.
At the University of New Hampshire he spent most of his spare time in "Power Alley" where the most accomplished and outstanding students of UNH ran student organizations like the New Hampshire, UNH's student newspaper; WUNH the acclaimed radio station in an era when student-run radio was in it's infancy; The Memorial Union Student Organization that organized and brought music and speakers to campus.
