Fifty years ago today (July 10, 1967) Richard and I and 10 other Boy & Explorer Scouts were starting our hike through the mountains and valleys of the Philmont Scout Ranch in northern New Mexico. Richard was one of four Scouts in our 'Expedition' ('709I3') from Fredericksburg and I was one of five Scouts from San Marcos. /// The Scouting 'Capital Area Council', based in Austin, had put-out-the-word many months earlier to Scouting organizations in central Texas asking who wanted to go to...

What a wonderful friend I lost when Rich died. He saved me from a lot of personal mental anguish when I first spoke to him after Tim left maytech. At that time I REALLY depended on Tim and here he was gone. Rich stepped in, took care of everything current and then showed me many ways to make it better. Rich helped us earn a profit for many years. He was a wonderful friend and I will miss him forever.
