"RICHARDSON Donald Jolliff (80) Died at home Friday evening July 14. A World War II hero of D-Day and Battle of the Bulge, Don faced all the challenges life gave him with great heart and determination, making the best of any situation. His life profoundly and positively impacted thousands of people. Born in Bakersfield, California and raised in Los Angeles, he graduated from UCLA and married Margaret Sample in 1943. Serving as teacher and Assistant Superintendent for LAUSD from 1947-1980. Don "retired" to become a tireless full-time volunteer leader-advocate for mental health at both the national and state levels. President of the National Alliance for the Mentally III (NAMI), and member of Rosalynn Carter's National Advisory Commission on Mental Health, Don was a principal contributor to the Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health, 2000. Honors include L.A. County's "Volunteer of the Year", California Psychological Association's "Distinguished Humanitarian Award" and U.S. Commissioner of Rehabilitation Services'" Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Disabled in America. Don had a lively sense of humor, enjoyed gardening, dancing and traveling. He was unfailingly loving and courageous. His life will continue to inspire those who knew him, including his three sons, two grandchildren, dear companion Wyoma Perryman, and many cherished friends. A memorial celebration will be held in his home in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 23, from 2:00-4:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to NAMI are encouraged."

Donald Richardson, Dr Elinor Richardson 1999 Grand Opening of Richardson Family Park

The park location used to be the Richardson Family house located at 2700 S Budlong Ave, Los Angeles, California, 90007. It was built in 1904 for Adolph Herman who died 1939. The age of home was deduced by directory listings, voter records, census data, land sales in LA Times articles. It was sold as land in 1903. First directory listing as a home was 1904. Below is a photo from the USC archives which states 1930 2700 S Budlong Ave.

The site is assessor parcel number 5054-031-901, legal description WHITNEY TRACT LOTS 49 AND 50. It's a 150' x 135' corner lot which was two residential lots. One address may have been 1534 W 27th St. It was a large three story home with seven garages. Some of the rooms were rented individually. There are ads in LA Times 1949 for $9.50/week for two room apt. The previous owner was Charles Herman. He sold it in 1930 for $15,000. It was ten rooms, five bedrooms, two story with two bathrooms on a corner. The home was built before 1919 most likely 1900-1905.

Mary Cummins presents statistical research at Western Psychology Conference, USC,

I took a senior year psychology research class my freshmen year in college. I always did well in school but was worried about getting an "A." The professor said he would move someone's grade up a grade if they got their research published in a journal article and presented it. I got the article published in the undergraduate journal and presented it in Santa Clarita. My grandmother let me borrow her car to drive up there.

"Western Psychology Conference for undergraduate research. April 28, 1984. Sponsored by the Psychology Department of the University of Santa Clara, California 95053.

Classical conditioning as a factor in response bias. Mary Cummins-Cobb. University of Southern California. Sponsor: Herm Turk. Cognitive field."
