Dick and I were on a Getaway committee together back in the first few years we were at Camp Letts. He may have been the chair that year - I can't remember. Anyway, he wanted me to emcee the Saturday night concert. Being pretty much a non-performer, I wasn't too thrilled with that idea. But Dick was insistent, and I realized that if he could get up in front of people and perform, so could I. I did it for a few years and then went back to singing choruses.

Dick was always willing to talk to new people at FSGW events, and he made them feel welcomed.

Thanks, Dick. I'll miss you.
