Ric,

Happy Birthday to you, old friend.  Been a while and a ways since Idaho, eh?

Well shoot, you're right up the road a ways from me.  I don't hear a lot of partying from that neck of the woods, though.  Hope it's a great one!

Kees, Ric was the pastor of a Southern Baptist church there in Hayden, ID.
Might not be a lot of loud music and wild dancing going on there at his place.
But, talk about a guy that can build a really nice rifle, he's your man.

Sounds like my kind of guy!  Hope he's alright; he hasn't been on here in quite a while.

Yes, Ric is alive and well and doing fine.  I emailed him to wish a happy birthday and he replied that all is well.  He just isn't doing much with muzzleloading except building the occasional rifle.  Said he hasn't done any shooting since he left Washington state.
