Hi I am sorry to hear about your Dad. I have been looking for him as I have a ring that belonged to him from Yale university. It would be great if you could get in touch. Thanks Donna
Randomly this morning I remembered Richard. We worked together for two years at Coudert Brothers in London. He reinforced my respect when on “Wear a tie to work“ day, he wore a beautifully coloured in cardboard tie designed by his daughter. He wore it all day with great pride.
RIP Richard you were a wonderful, kind colleague
Richard Guelff was an unforgettable classmate in Wright Hall,
Old Campus, Freshman Year 1968-69. He was sharp,
funny and knew what he was interested in. I followed
his undergrad work on the rise of Soviet naval power in
the Mediteranean. Requiescat in pace.
I knew Richard when we were students at La Jolla High School.
Was a first class swimmer and scholar.
I knew Richard quite well in College. We lost touch afterwards. His Documents on the Laws of War book is a bible for everyone interested in the field.
It is years since we saw each other. I am saddened now, 4 years later, to learn of his death. He was a fine person, soft spoken, amusing.
