In 1938, Chuck Richardson was elected the first Governor
of the first Boys State of Missouri. His perfect attendance
at every Boys State through the 1980's, has included service
as City Counselor, Quartermaster, Director and lifetime Executive
Committee Board Member. In addition, Chuck Richardson has made
significant financial contributions to the program. He also
serves as a trustee of the American Legion Boys State of Missouri
Memorial Trust Fund which helps perpetuate Boys State. In 1990,
he was honored by the Board of Directors with the institution
of Richardson City at Missouri Boys State. With the approval
of this action by the Missouri Boys State general assembly,
Cockrell City was retired and Richardson City was established.
Until his retirement in the late 1970's, Chuck was a successful
business owner and active in the community in the Kansas City
area. While he is fully divested from his company since retirement,
Richardson Printing is still doing business today. Chuck served
as a Captain in the U.S. Navy and was a decorated war veteran.
