Richard H. Long
The family, friends and community of Richard H. Long have lost a great man. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1934, Richard was a hard worker from an early age, and even as a small child he worked long hours at his family’s dry-cleaning business.
One of his jobs for many years was to clean out the industrial-sized dryers, where he would find many interesting trinkets that had fallen out of customer’s pockets. This was the beginning of a lifelong hobby of collecting things, including one of his first collections: miniature pocket-knives, some of them not even a half-inch long.
