Daughter, Jan Franklin BenDor,
and oldest son, Tim
Franklin, recount for the Baltimore Sun some facts about
their father and the celebration held to honor his remarkable life.
Younger cousin George Earley
remembers family gatherings some 60 years ago, when after dinner, he and Richard would
handcrank the old ice cream freezer.
Son-in-law, Michael-David BenDor,
remembers Richard as babysitter, landscape gardener, and the consummate diplomat.
Richard's literary output, his teaching
career, and his professional efforts to apply the science of human behavior to the goals
of positive social change, are themes in an obituary submitted to, but unpublished
by, The New York Times.
