"A life-long
Clevelander, Richmond was graduated from the old Cleveland High School in
1916. That same year, the county opened Bradley Central High School and he
enrolled and became a member of BCHS's first graduating class in 1917.
From there, he traveled to the University of Tennessee to study
agriculture. Before the autumn of that year his student deferment was
changed to 1A classification for the draft. Richmond joined the Marines
and began his illustrious career in service to his country." |
