While visiting some activists in Belgium this last week I heard the sad news about Rick. I met him when he arrived here in Scotland with the For Mother Earth Peace Walk in 1998. He made a big impression on us all during the following two weeks as we camped out in the endless rain and took action against the UK's nuclear weapons. Rick came to our house one evening along with Katri and Krista to get into their wetsuits and set out to be dropped off on a dark shoreline and swim the cold waters of the Gareloch to the Trident submarine base. They succeeded in getting to their destination. Story here http://www.tridentploughshares.org/article574
