Greg Montes writes: “I learned earlier this year that Richard Griest died on December 21, 2011, at Pleasant Hill, California. I often ate lunch and dinner with Richard in Morse College in 1966–69 and we lived on the same floor of Morse Tower in 1967–68. We had many discussions about politics, history, Yale, and other subjects. I and others who knew Richard over the years found him to be very intelligent and good-humored. My parents enjoyed meeting and talking with Richard when he stayed overnight with them in Omaha, Nebraska, while driving from Yale to San Diego in June 1969.
