I am writing in response to the My Turn article by Anne Patterson. I have known Joy for over 40 years. She’s accomplished and forthright.
Joy and John, along with Tom and Sheila, were owners of Idaho Forest Industries, a family business dating back to 1920. The Richards’ family did more to shape the city of Hayden than any other entity. Numerous charities, youth sports teams, the Kootenai Hospital, the Museum of North Idaho, the Women’s Center, UGM, Jobs Plus, NIC and the Excel Foundation have all benefited from their financial support and involvement.
