Harold Wendell Richmond February 1, 1929 - April 14, 2021 PHONE: (972) 562-2601 Harold Wendell Richmond February 1, 1929 - April 14, 2021 Harold Wendell Richmond, 92, of Plano, Texas died peacefully in his home April 14, 2021. His sweet wife, Joyce, took loving care of him until the end. He was born in a small farmhouse near Miller, Nebraska to Wendell and Mabel Richmond. He was raised with his three siblings: two younger brothers, Wesley and Robb, and sister Eloise. When he was eight years old, the family moved near Ontario, Oregon. His parents bought eighty acres of sagebrush land, which they turned into a successful dairy farm. He attended Eastern Oregon College and the University of Washington, graduating with a degree in Physics. After a five-month bicycle trip through Europe, he was drafted into the Army. He trained at Fort Ord, California, and then spent two years in Yokohama, Japan during the Korean War. After being discharged. he took his first job in Port Mugu, California, doing data reduction for flight testing guided missiles. In 1953, he proposed to Beth Markham. They were married and sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple a year later. They first lived in Venice, California, then in New Jersey where he was a programming manager for the new Air Force Command and Control System, serving the Strategic Air Command underground headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. During these years, he served in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as a high counselor, bishop, and counselor to the stake president of the New Jersey Stake. In 1973, he moved his family to Dallas, Texas where he served as a member of the stake high council, and then as a counselor in the Dallas North Stake Presidency. In November of 1977, he was called to serve as the first president of the Plano Texas Stake. After his release, he was then called to be a Regional Representative with assignments in Texas and Oklahoma, and as a member of the Dallas Temple Committee. In March of 1986, he was called and set apart as a sealer and served 25 years in the Dallas Texas Temple. In March of 1996, his wife, Beth Ann, suddenly passed away. In 1997, he married Joyce Riggs in the Dallas Temple. After retiring from EDS in 1998, they immediately left to serve a two-year mission in Hawaii in the little village of Hana. In 2015, out of a love for genealogy and family history, they asked to serve in the Family and Church History Mission in Salt Lake City, Utah. They were there for sixteen months and were part of the testing of the new FamilySearch software. Harold was a true patriot and appreciated living in America. For many years, he sat with family on the side of the streets of Plano to watch the Fourth of July Parade. He also studied the founding of America and the constitution extensively so he could make informed decisions. Harold is survived by his wife, Joyce Richmond, and his children, Lisa and husband Kim Tollefson of Mesa, Arizona; Mark and wife Klarise Richmond of Fishers, Indiana; Nola and husband Dee Hiatt of Plano, Texas; Daniel Richmond of Plano, Texas; Kenneth and wife Sarah Richmond of Sparta, Michigan; Sheila and husband Keith Bartlett of McKinney, Texas; and Greg and wife Kristen Richmond of McKinney, Texas.

  • RSC Style Guide
    Religious Studies Center Style Guide, 1 October 2018 Authors who submit manuscripts for potential publication should generally follow the guidelines in The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2017) and Style Guide for Editors and Writers, 5th ed. (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2013). This style guide summarizes the main principles in the other style guides and lists a few exceptions to their guidelines. Formatting 1. Use double-spacing throughout the manuscript and the endnotes. Use one-inch margins, and insert page numbers at the bottom of the page. Use a Times New Roman 12-point font for both the body of the manuscript and the notes. Use only one space after periods. 2. If you have images, add captions and courtesy lines (such as courtesy of Church History Library, Salt Lake City) to the Word file. However, do not insert images in the Word files; submit them separately. Images should be 300 dpi or better (TIFF or JPG files). File names and captions should match (Fig. 1.1 = chapter 1, figure 1). Headings 3. Update: Include headings to break up the text. First-Level Headings First-level headings should be flush left and bolded, as in the example above. Capitalize internal words except for articles (a, an, and the), conjunctions (and, but, or, for, so, and yet), prepositions, and the word to in infinitive phrases. Second-Level Headings Second-level headings should be flush left and italicized. Capitalize like first-level headings. Third-level headings. Third-level headings should be italicized, followed by a period, and run in to the text; capitalization should be handled sentence-style (capitalize the first word and proper nouns).
