A freind for 14 years who mentored me during those 14 years anything that had to do with ham radio and girls and LIFE in general , he bought me all of my ham radios till i got to me a general class , then he said to me ( i have helped you all this time now give my equipment back ) and i went on a venture of buying my own radio in the spring of 2008 . Its rare to have such a friend who knows all about you good and bad , Dick was that kind of friend . He did not judge you unless he had good reason to , he was first licensed in 1990 -2018
