Mr. McCORMICK. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize a distinguished American, William “Bill” Howard Richardson, on the occasion of his 90th birthday. Born on July 31, 1936. Bill has led a life of extraordinary consequence: as a devoted family man, a Navy veteran, an esteemed educator, a civic leader, an avid environmentalist, and, to those who know him best, a much-admired bohemian spirit.
in the U.S. Navy aboard an icebreaker, before returning home to earn his MBA from NYU. He built a distinguished career as a respected educator and civic leader, settling in northern California alongside his beloved wife Betsy. Together, they raised four children, and Bill now delights in the joy of 11 grandchildren. Bill has a legacy of love and family that spans generations.
years of independence, a flag was flown over the U.S. Capitol on July 4 of this year in tribute to Bill's life and service.
love, respect, and affection we hold for this special man and to wish him continued health and happiness in the years ahead.
