It is so hard to believe a decade has passed since Rick departed for the great Scout jamboree in heaven. I hope Rick and Don Hoppe are doing their best to prepare the camp grounds, under the leadership of Lowell Dunn and John B. Alspaugh, for the future arrivals of the remaining Troop #93 scouts. Until then, peace be with you and the others.

I know it has been hard on the Dunn family left behind, but rest assured Rick has not been forgotten. In fact I was talking about him and some of our antics just this last Saturday.
