When you send your card, make a copy of a foto that you enjoyed and send it along.
Micheal will appreciate that.

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Eric Rickman; I certainly enjoyed seeing his published photos. I wonder if someone could publish a book of his historic photos.

I doubt that could happen. Peterson Publishing denied Rick any access to their foto files after he no longer worked there.

That really upset him because there were so many images that were very important to him that he wanted for his own enjoyment.

We talked about that one night at Motel 6 in Wendover.

Not only that, ask David Frieburger about what he was able to save from the dumpster sometime.

If you can't race it or take it to bed - it ain't worth having.

David is not the only person that has done dumpster diving at HRM,

with amazing results.

Have you sent a card to Micheal Rickman?

It's easily overlooked.

I was just told that the family is having a difficult time with Eric's passing.

Just listen to this old man and make certain that you send some type of a condolence card.

If you do it for him you won't be obligated to send one when I expire.

PROMISED!

One little blip about this iconic man in the magazine he helped put on the map this month. What a shame for HRM to disgrace Eric Rickman and themselves this way. Shame on them......
