Richard Clayton Jensen and I were close friends during our Paradise Elementary School days...also was good friends with his younger sister, Yvonne Kim (the last I heard she is married and living in Utah). We played many marathon Monopoly Games and went to Disneyland (while Walt was still alive : ). His mom and dad, George and Marylou, gave me a job at thier Winchell's Donut shop while I was attending UNLV. I was saddened to learn of Richard's passing, but I am thankful for this site informing me of this.
