If you look up the name of Richard Campos on the wall of those who died in Vietnam it will tell you he was from San Francisco. Actually he was born there. He was one of the first students I met when I became a student in the sixth grade at St. Francis School in Watsonville, California. Because it was a boarding school, sixth grade was the entry-level grade. He was a little older than I was but he helped me make the basketball team and the baseball team several years later when I was in high school.
