Takingadvantage of leaves, trips were made tomany parts of Japan, as well as to Manila,Macau, Hong Kong, China, Bangkok, Thailand,New Delhi and Agra, India, Alaska,and Honolulu, where other valuable architecturalslides were collected. Other tripshave taken him to Mexico and the Caribbean.Returning to Clemson College upon completionof his service tenure, Richard receivedhis Bachelor of Architecture withhonors in 1958.
