&db=smithd&id=I3473  is a worldconnect file of an individual researching a
RICKARD family in California that might know where this man fits in a
RICKARD family tree.

The only lead I can think of for this is to go the University to see if they
have anything that would help. I am assuming that these folks are the folks
who ended up with Toms stuff that are looking for his next of kin. I know he
had a lot of photography and artsy kind of stuff. Anyway this is an old
friend of the family whose Oregon connection for me is I met him here in
Reedsport on the family farm and he shared many of his pictures of that farm
with me as well as he and i spent quite a bit of time sharing genealogy on
Milan M. Melvin the first and his descendants. 

 

What I am hoping for is someone might have access to the Cal birth index and
that information might give some clues to family if he has any at all.

&affiliateID=1380> University of Washington. For most of his professional
career he practiced landscape architecture with the firm of Chaffee Zumwalt
& Associates in Lakewood, where he started a "TGIF" tradition which will
continue Tom was a man of many talents and interests. His academic training
included fine art at the University of Oregon and he produced paintings in
oil and watercolors. The latter medium was his favorite, and his paintings
have been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums throughout the
Northwest. Early in his architectural career he developed an interest in the
works of Frank Lloyd Wright. He traveled far and wide photographing the
"master's" completed works. He became an acknowledged expert in this field
and his lectures on Frank Lloyd Wright were informative, entertaining, and
most memorable.
