Richard Michelson: Hello. My name is Richard Michelson which means that one of my ancestors was the son of a father whose name was Michael. I don't know why there is no A in Michelson but because of that sometimes people say Richard Michelson. I've also been called Michael Richardson, and once, in third grade, I was in a hurry and announced myself as Richard Michard to my great embarrassment. Now, I think it would be fun if everyone's name had to rhyme. When I was little, my family called me Ricky. When I was older, my friends called me Richie. And now, I am usually Rich. So if you meet me and ask, "Are you Rich?" I can answer yes. I am rich in friends, rich in family, and rich in experience.
