Heather,

I met Dick at the 2006 Western States Cobra Bash in Sparks, Nevada. I was not able to go on the scheduled morning cruise for the event. If I had gone, I would not have met Dick in person. I had read about Dick and saw some videos of him in the years before and I was thrilled to meet him. I asked him if he would take a picture with me and my car. He did not hesitate at all and said yes. He was really interested in my Backdraft, since he said that he had never seen one before.

He truly was a nice guy, he told me a few stories and jokes. It was an honor to meet a man of this caliber.

I have some pictures of him on that day. These two are in my gallery. I may have more.
