Harold Richards opened the Newport Mesa Half-Way House for recovering alcoholic
men in 1975. Since then, hundreds of men have had a chance to get on their feet
and move ahead in their sobriety. The board of directors for the Harold and
Justine Richards Foundation commissioned this bronze portrait bust to honor
Harold. The bust is installed in the meeting room of the halfway house.
Harold Richards is humble, honest, compassionate, and joyful. He is always smiling.
He testified that helping others maintain their sobriety has been important
in his own life. Harold's motto: "What you see is what you get" is
inscribed on the plaque below his portrait.
