Richard Harting Watkins - What is in a name?


Just two weeks ago we were in Texas welcoming a new grandson, Tristan Cole Riggs. Who would have guessed that exactly two weeks later we would be holding another grandson in our arms?

Richard Harting is as precious as his namesakes. Richard was the first name of my beloved father and Harting was the middle name of Amber's precious grandfather. This young fellow carries with him the honor of those men and the names they worked tirelessly to preserve as honest and good.

Richard means 'brave power' and Harting means 'strong and brave.'

Richard Harting Watkins will carry the honor of these names throughout his life.
