Hi Rick quite the resume! Did some googling as I was wondering how your career went. Used to date your cousin Tim in the late 70's and double date with your brother. Lol I still remember saying to you when heading out one time "see you Rick,..bye" and realizing after how ironic that was. Cheers rita
