Richard Fullerton

Born Richard Sandlin Fullerton in Marion, NC he spent his first six years down Highway 70 in Old Fort looking up at Mt. Mitchell from his maternal grandparents' front porch, and lived subsequently in Lincoln, England, Lake Charles, LA, and Fort Worth, TX, due to his father's profession as a Command Pilot in the USAF. Upon his dad's death in 1960, he and his mother moved to Winston-Salem, NC., but Richard continued to attend prep school in Austin, TX until his graduation in 1963. He won a "best supporting actor" award for his performance as Thomas Putnam in "The Crucible" in his junior year because he, fortunately, knew Reverend Paris' lines better than Reverend Paris did, and was elected Senior Speaker by his class, which might have been a sign of things to come, but was probably pure coincidence... Knocking the dust of Texas from his boots, he spent almost three semesters at Duke University and a summer School at Wake forest in the middle before deciding that he should take a break
