Born: 02/12/1921
Where: North Vassalboro, Kennebec Co., Maine
Died: 05/11/1940
He moved with his parents, James Herman and Minnie (Adams) Richardson, to Cashmere, WA about mid 1920s, then onto Portland, OR around 1930s.
He attended Benson High School in Portland, Multnomah Co., OR.
He died 05/11/1940 when the vintage car he was riding in crashed down a ravine on Germantown Road.
He was in school at the time, working as a Master Engraver in etching department.
His headstone reads Gail POLLOW, because his mother, who married second husband, Carl Albert Pollow, had his tombstone inscribed with POLLOW, even though Gail was never adopted by his step-father.
This photo, we believe, was his high school photo, which would have been taken about 1939-1940.
