Richard and Ginnie rented this house for a couple decade. (It was built in 1951.) Norm Jr. did not get along with Richard. When the owner wanted to sell the house, it was offered to Norm first. Norm wanted to buy the house and kick Richard out. But Norm did not have the money. Richard bought the house. Richard and Ginnie moved here full time in the Spring of 1975. He died here that Fall.
