We all know how much fun Rich was when hodag finally came every year. I was poroud to be one of his great friends and roomate. He made hodag just that much more fun. As I make my way into the hodag grounds and see anyone doing anything out of the ordinary I will think of rich and just laugh. Because we all know of the crazy stuff he was capable of doing. Even though he will not be with us personally from here on, he will always be remembered as one of the true hodagers. As my friend Ivan said in the previous message, watch for a tribute to the american dream. Take care hodagers ill see yah soon.

P.S. come on down to jeanie c riley road, all the way to the elk fence and have a drink with us to salute the american dream.
