I grew up in Lodi California and Graduated in the class of 1960. Dick took my senior pictures as he did with thousands of other Seniors. I was also the School Photographer in my Jr and Sr. Year. Taking the Candid photos while Dick took all the Posed , required, Photos for the annual. My Father was Ed Ehrhardt the Photographer for the Police department in Lodi for over 23 years. What a honor to know a Professional Photographer who had recorded history for all those years. I am just going through my Fathers Negative that he took from 1952 to 1990. If you still have Dick Crete's Negative, you have a piece of history that can not be replaced. I will be thinking of your family and Dick and My DAD while I go through his Negatives one by one. Holding history in my hands. PS ..I have my own Photo STudio now in Sullivan Missouri. The Art of Photography, which has just gone digital, is a wonderful journey through life. Photographers are a special breed of persons. I know Dick was.. All MY best to the family.... Clyde Ehrhardt
