I met Rick at the Black Hills Seminars in 1998. At the end of his workshop, he came over and said 'you don't believe I word I just said' - which I replied "No - you don't know the kids I work with". He smiled and invited me to join him and other leaders of the of the conference for dinner. He challenged me on how I worked with you - that there are better ways. That conversation forever changed my life and my life's work the last 20 years. I know I thanked you in person - but once again, thanks my friend! God speed.
