Richard Arthur -Biography
Born carefully, and without obstructing justice, Richard Arthur forever unalterably adjusted Barbara and Stan Arthur’s, future intimate intentions on July 4th, 1951. The proud parents had high (soon to be dashed) hopes for their fledgling first.
Plagued by reoccurring patriotic birthday themes viewed by others as good fortune, the young Mr. Arthur proceeded to haltingly grow physically, and ironically evolve socially while fomenting minor mayhem and mischief in SW Portland. Later he expanded his scope of operations to the Parkrose area.

His primary pursuits were (and still are, in general) with priority dependent upon the day;
1) Baseball
2) Girls
3) Music
After his first exposure to incense, and learning of rumors that hippie chicks partied naked ( or at least with no bras ), our adolescent charge devoted many hours to fine tuning the following skills;
1) Rolling joints
2) Girls
3) Music
Fortunately, these endeavors yielded virtually no positive results, and he then chose to embark on a mildly successful career in the restaurant business. During this tenure, Mr. Arthur’s aberrant musical ambitions continually annoyed those close by, but whether as a singing busboy, a strolling musician in Italian (singing Beatles songs) or Irish foodservice establishments, Richard clearly was destined for obscurity.
A firm believer in blind luck, surprisingly enough, one of his marriages lasted. Richard found companionship despite his |
vast insufficiencies. Debbie joined his passion for a mundane existence in 1982. The minutes rolled by uneventfully until Andrew was born in 1984. Sean joined the team in
1986.
A perfect parody of the American dream, Dad toiled diligently for unappreciative multi millionaires, and Mom learned how to match wall colors. The kids continued the family tradition of fighting constantly.
Today, all four are happy, but dull, with, of course, the rearranged priority of changing world governments.
