I am deeply saddened to inform the NYSTRA community of the death of Richard Nadal on Feb. 5. A proud graduate of Lehman College, Richard was a truly inspiring recreation professional and an outstanding motivational speaker who deeply believed in the transformative value of leisure. I know many of you had the chance to hear him speak in classes and at conferences. There will be a memorial on Sunday February 28 from 2 to 5 at the Castle Hill Community Center in the Bronx.
