I don't remember the first time I met Great Uncle Dick, perhaps a few times. But when his brother Bill Sr passed, I was able to meet Dick at his house, and appreciated many small details that I thought to be a very Barcus experience. I look forward to learning more about Dick and all the many people his life impacted. I believe I was asked to share some pictures of George Ellis Barcus, father of the man in many of these pictures, Gordon Elmer Barcus, I hope you all love them as much as I do. When I locate any of George, I can update those aswell. Imagine what it took to own a personal camera in 33! And, perhaps like anyone with a new machine, you'd take a picture of a friend with a rolled over truck, you know, for the record* ha! :D *last image with saved document about driving record I thought was too good not to share. Also, from what I see in various family trees, Lillian had lost a brother, Richard Dale, unless these records are mistaken, its nice to know this could be how Dick received his name.

Learning of Dick's death makes me feel time's unfailing toll in the world that I treasure. I enjoyed a happy converation with Dick at the 50th Lincoln Reunion., met his wife, and laughed a lot about our escapades as teenagers. Though we had not seen each other fo almost 50 years, conversation was easy, and connections familiar. Dick was one of the good guys who was my friend in high school days, often coming to our house after school to hang with me, my sister, Sallty my boyfriend Rick Wescott, and several other friends.,We played pool, ate cookies, worked on cars, All was pretty innocent fun, even when we all tp'd each other's houses, arousing some well deserved anger from his dad. The good ole days. So glad to have had them. Sending sympathy to all. Eva (Beatty) Mitchell
