Remembering Richey Piiparinen
"Nothing is separate -- the health of your city, the health of Cleveland, is ultimately the health of you and vice versa." – Richey Piiparinen
We at the City Club of Cleveland are saddened with the passing of Richey Piiparinen. He graced the Happy Dog stage recently to talk about his book Octopus Hunting among other things. His words were truly amazing and his presence was inviting, intelligent, and insightful. This son of Cleveland will truly be missed.
We are honored to dedicate the forum "The Case for Cities: What is Needed to Promote a Viable & Sustainable Urban Resurgence" to Richey, his family and his memory.
He has previously spoken on two other occasions on the City Club stage:
