Dick was my freshman baseball coach at Long Beach State in 1964. Later he became the coordinator of a rather robust intramural program at LB State. After leaving college and beginning my career, I lost contact with him, but I will always remember his wonderful and supportive way of encouraging his players. I always got the feeling that I was one of his favorite players. I think many others felt the same way.In 1968, as intramural coordinator, he and Chick Hearn, the broadcaster of the L. A. Lakers, presented trophies and awards to all of the intramural athletes. There were over 300 in attendance that evening. A night I will always remember especially because of Dr. Richard Clegg.
