How would I make the position of the name of my referees be alligned on the same row?
In the picture below, I would like to make the "Name of person" on the right to be aligned nicely with the "Name of person" on the left.
Note that I need to put more lines of address for one person, I cannot change the number of lines that I have.
My LaTeX code is below
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{array, xcolor, lipsum, bibentry}
\usepackage[margin=3cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{scrbase,scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings} % pagestyle with page number
\lohead{My Name}
\definecolor{lightgray}{gray}{0.8}
\newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedleft}p{0.14\textwidth}}
\newcolumntype{R}{p{0.8\textwidth}}
\newcommand\VRule{\color{lightgray}\vrule width 0.5pt}
\begin{document}
