Remembering Rick "Good Buddy" Stevens on his Birthday

Post by Harold Henderson »

Rick, Ted, and I were all the same age, but Rick had the honor of being first in the new year to add that official 1-year anniversary badge to his jacket. There was a certain "comfort" being second then. That's one thing - actually probably the least insignificant thing - I miss about Rick except for the annual good-willed banter that centered around it. That was a hallmark of Rick - just being around him made things more enjoyable.

Remembering "Good Buddy" this day.

Happy Birthday Rick!
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be?--it is the same the angels breathe.

Yes, I do miss Rick and the banter we all had during our group flights. Rick came to Dallas a couple of times and we got together to catch up. He was such a nice guy.

Happy birthday Rick.

I miss Rick as well. He was always cool to fly with when I was a regular in the GFI's as everyone is. Those were good times.
