Richard Boebel

Rick and I were friends at Isidore Newman High School in NOLA. We lived a few blocks apart in Aurora Gardens before his family built a home on a golf course. He was quite a character and bookworm who loved the out doors as well! It was a frequent humorous sight to see him carrying a large loaded down brief case as he, breathing hard, slid into his desk just before the bell. No doubt that he was a source of humor and well intended mischief to his family and friends! He was a great guy! Sorry...

And here are the other two.

Attempting to add the photos again. Got the first one to load. Now will back for the other twp.

I very fondly remember Richard from our American Youth Hostels (AYH) 1968 Bicycle tour of Europe. I was his leader. What a character he was! He kept me on my toes as he sometime stretched the limits . But he always had a twinkle in his eye and I was so fond of him. I'm attaching 3 photos. I will remember him especially from the first one. He did have to leave our group a few days early as he had an infection in his foot. Fortunately, his parents were able to come as they were also in...

He was a friend and a great gentleman!

A life well led. RIP, Rick! Won´t forget those beers at Animas last August.
