Richard is paramount chief of the village of Loltong in
Noth Pentecost. He's a spry, shrewd 72 year old politician
who's thrived in a social system that is rife with intrigue,
infighting and petty jealousies.
He remains extremely active, physically and politically. He sure
tired my friend Dave and me out when he took us on a tour of
the village and its environs. That jaunt turned into one of the best
examples of quiet lobbying I've ever experienced. Olympic bid committee
members the world over could learn a thing or two from him.

doors at the junior secondary school in Loltong, I was
reminded of similar ones in Unseen University, Ankh Morpork.
No wizards were harmed in the taking of this photo.
