Dick showed me a lot of ham radio that I didn't know about. I already had a Novice license when I met Dick but I really didn't know how Ham Radio 'worked' until WB6IUU showed it to me. For whatever reason, we got to be good, close friends and we stayed in touch for many, many years no matter where our lives took us. Dick, in fact, steered me toward a good first job when I got out of the Navy, at the place in Silicon Valley where he was working. He and Margie put me up for a couple weeks after I got that job and was looking for a decent place to live. Good man, Dick. I'll miss him.
