Peter Richert, a Kansas National Guard specialist from Hillsboro who was wounded by a roadside bomb Feb. 22 while serving in Iraq, will continue his recovery at San Antonio, Texas.
According to his father, Ed Richert, Peter was expected to be
transferred sometime this week, perhaps by Wednesday, from Walter Reed
Army Medical Medical Center in Washington, D.C., to Brooke Army Medical
Center at Fort Sam Houston.
Ed Richert said doctors project that his son’s stay there could be up
to six months, depending on the rate of his recovery and rehabilitation.
Richert’s injuries required the amputation of most of a leg. A fellow
serviceman, Staff Sgt. David Berry of Wichita, who was riding in the
same vehicle, was killed in the blast.

It\'s interesting that our grandson Lucas Karschnik, from the Minnesota Unit in Iraq, which joined the Kansas unit spoke of his friend, Pete Richert, some time ago. Then, looking into some genealogy, I find that they are 4th cousins, once removed. We have a small world.
