heart of hearts I think Corbin and I both kinda believe(d)
in ghosts so, it'll be interesting if he shows up?

he loved the desert.

Missed the funeral (Had promised to take a group of Boy Scouts cragging......prior commitment that Rick would have approved of......) Went to the "Celebration of Life" party afterward in Landers;......at some resident near Goat Mountain out by Giant Rock. The wind was blowing, and it was cold and wild......special weather for a wild and thoughtful man;......he wouldn't want no pussy weather, you know. There was a microphone, and people told stories of how Rick touched thier lives;....then there was grub and a huge bonfire. There was a slide show with many very cool pics of Rick;...I believe it was the same one they showed at the funeral. His climbing bros were represented by Big Al Bartlett, Clark Jacobs, Dave Mayville, Simon the Brit, myself, and a few others. There were cars everywhere at the service in Landers, I understand;....he was well loved and respected by many many people. His wife and kids talked of wanting to go climbing again;.....a way to remember Rick;...I promised to take them soon.........We all miss him......he was awesome.
