I am so sad.. I met Rick in late 1999. He had made it to the hot springs in Mexico which were a favorite New Years place for us. My cousin, my friend and our 3 dogs rolled into the canyon sporting a friends beat-up Hummer.
We nicknamed him "Ass Man" and were the first to ride his burros. We rode them to the Cuevas Pintadas at Canyon de Guadalupe. We spent a week with Rick he told us of his tales, his sister sent me his book. He changed the course of my life.
I saw him three more times after that and introduced him to others.
I have told many his story....
I found news of his death while looking for him. I wanted to tell him I am at UC Berkeley in the Peace and Conflict Studies Program.
RIP Ass Man, I hope I make you proud..... !
If any of his family read this, look me up, I have a few photos from Mexico of him.
