Congratulations to NoCache-NoCredit & NDPeter for being the

This cache is located near a street named after William (Bill) R.
Richardson.
"He had a couple of stints as County Engineer. He was City
Engineer during the Miller administration. He worked at a couple of
local construction companies. He was a doer - not much for wasting
time for things that nobody wanted done. Bristled at red tape. He
ran and lost a Mayoral primary election. He was appointed Sheriff
to complete the term of an incumbent who resigned in scandal. He
served a couple of years as Sheriff and was running to be elected
when he was diagnosed with colon cancer and died very
suddenly.
Bill was a joy to be with. His favorite spot to eat in
Indianapolis was Acapulco Joe's. It was always fun to stop there
with him for lunch and sing "God Bless America" to a Kate Smith
recording at noon. There are many people who could regale you with
stories. R.J. (Bob) Richardson (no relation) was his Assistant
County Engineer. They saw things alike on most matters.
Bill and his wife had a very large family - six
children.
The place where the cache is hidden had not been annexed to
the City, yet, when the Industrial Foundation developed the Toll
Road Industrial Park. That was underway at or shortly after Bill's
death. The County chose to honor Bill by naming the street for
him."
The facts listed above were quoted from Carl Littrell, South
Bend City Engineer, with the help of Mary Ann Myers.
Happy caching!
