W Bro Richard James Richardson was born on 23 January 1922 in Doncaster.

What emerged were men who recognised the value of service to others and it is therefore probably not surprising that Dick Richardson became the man we know.
A cheque for £5,000 being this year’s contribution from the Famous Five, was presented by VW Bro Alan Wellan, PGSwdB, Past Deputy Provincial Grand Master, in front of a large congregation at St Mary’s Collegiate Church, Warwick.

This summary was written for the St Mary’s Church magazine by Alan, and was also printed in the brochure for this year’s Annual Church Service in June. Alan is a member of St Mary’s Parochial Church Council.
