I have such fond memories of Dick as our advisor to Gateway AZA. I don't think anyone could have been better suited in that role. Our chapter benefitted from his advice and guidance and we as young teenagers learned lessons from every encounter with him. Rhoda and family, thank you for allowing this wonderful soul to cross our paths at a critical point in our lives. He will be missed but his influence will live on.

Looking back on it, Dick's dedication to working with us in Gateway AZA was far beyond what could be expected of anyone. If there was an advisor to be found at any event, it was Dick. He gave of his time, effort, and car driving our group of malcontents around to tournaments, meetings, and just to eat.
