Rick as the Centipede is "The Centipede ...I mean "James & The Giant Peach." Not even biasedly speaking, Rick stole the show. The kids just loved him.

This is Rick as Johnny Pateen Mike in Cripple of Inishmen. This was probably my favorite show that I've seen him in (Except maybe As Nicely in Guys & Dolls) He was to be a 60 year old Irish gossip and he just wore that part like a tailored suit. It was hilarious show!

College...see what an effect it had on my dear sweet brotha? Ok I'm kidding. Rick is an actor. A great one. So when they told him he'd need to be playing a bald man for a show he didn't get one of those caps, he shaved his head. But he had a few nights of mohawky fun first. So this is him his senior year after the theater department's banquet skit.

Rick and I mugging for the camera during one of our many trips to NYC. I love the cuteness of this picture. We had even dyed our hair the same color for the trip. Which worked out well for me, everyone assumed my hair was naturally red! HAH!

The beauty of this picture, is Rick and I really did get along quite well. We didn't immediately start fighting after the photo was taken. We got along like peas and carrots! We still do!

Follow up cuteness with insane cuteness! It doesn't get any better than feety pajamas, people! This is Me, My Daddy & Rick when I was 4 or so and Rick was 3. I'm pretty sure we woke Daddy up for this picture. We had a habit of doing that.

Mini-Me...literally! This is me as a wee baby with my Daddy.

Ah the childhood montage. This is my house in Wisconsin. My Mom and Chet still live there. The house belonged to my Grandparents (Top right) and we have kept it in the family for about 60 years now. It's the house my Mom grew up in and so did I! [Bottom Left] That is me shortly before a visit to the hospital. [In my feeties!] I had a habit of catching pneumonia as a little kid so I probably looked like this a lot. I'm still infamous in my family for saying "I've been sick my WHOLE LIFE." I said it when I was 4 and still haven't lived it down. [Bottom Right] Of course I wasn't all sugar and spice. Sometimes ya just gotta soak your Daddy with a pailful of cold Lake Michigan water!

Maybe it's lame of me to have this up but hey it's nearing 10am and I'm still awake! Wee! I have an excuse! Yeh anyway. For my senior trip in High School I went to New York with my choir. We got to sing in Carnegie Hall. It's apparently not as hard to get there as one might assume. But that ticket in an indirectly direct way is responsible for me ending up in PA. I fell in love with NYC on that trip and moved as a result. And now here I am...in PA. God works in goofy ways sometimes!
