Originally posted by MarkJerling So, whatever became of Ricky? I wonder if he's still "improving" things?
Originally posted by Parallax I would think it likely that he's no longer with us.
If that's the case, I'd bet money that his last words were "Hold my beer, and watch this".
Several years ago my oldest sister was in the old neighborhood and ran across him. He had a younger sister the same age as my sister. He had just retired from the Fire Dept where he had spent many years. She got his number for me but I never called him....I still have it, maybe I should, but I am always hesitant about digging up old burial grounds, if you know what I mean.
Reminds me, when I was a kid my Great Granny knew the location of an Indian burial ground near the Paluxy River and pointed it out to me. Got my buddies together and started digging for ancient artifacts to get rich. With the hard ground we were not sure we were in the exact location, so I went back and asked her for more information. She gave it, including that they all died from smallpox. The dig was over!
Regards!
