Back years ago, about 10, I was at a Gus Macker basketball game on a Satruday am at IUE where hundreds of young people were participating in the sport. I recall sitting there and thinking to myself - how will these young people ever financially make it living in Richmond? Will they have to move away? I had hoped not, since I have three children of my own. As it turns out I had to move away due to the limited employment opportunities in Richmond. I recalled that Dr. Vermalley from IUE was a big proponent on the laws of economics, especially the law of Supply and Demand. I then connected the two in my mind and figured out that if there was some way to create a demand for Richmond ~ would it be possible to have more work in the area? I sat out and created www.RichmondIndiana.com which was to be a website where the People of Richmond, those that live here and those that left for various reasons, a place where we could all meet-up (long before the website Meet-up). A virtual meeting.

Facebook does a much better job of doing by the use of computer skills what I had intended, so we now use Facebook. Come on over www.RichmondIndiana.com
