Greetings,
I never had the chance to hook up with rick over the air.  Several months
ago I put a posting, on this list, looking for assistance with my kenwood
duel bander.  Rick phoned me, on several occasions, and helped me program
the repeaters in my rig.  He aalways told me not to hesitate to call him if
I needed more help.  I wish I could have gotten to know him like some of
the other members on this list.  He sounds like he was one in a million.
The world will truley miss him.
