Richardson's uncle was Raymond Ellsworth Hubbard (1893-1970), a prominent oilman and later longtime president of the Dallas Park Board. After joining the board in 1942, he rose to president in 1943 and served in that capacity until his death in 1970. He was also involved in a number of local civic organizations, including the Dallas Zoological Society and the Citizens Memorial to John F. Kennedy Committee (whose work resulted in the John F. Kennedy Memorial dedicated in 1970). Today, Hubbard is most famous for the 22,745-acre freshwater reservoir in Dallas which bears his name, Lake Ray Hubbard, which was named in his honor by the Dallas City Council in 1967. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
