Richard, also known as Gandhi, is a fun and funny friend to be around. Yes, he can be serious when the chickens scratch up his gardens but, all in all, he is an amazing person. Rick worked 35 years in a car body shop, 35 years teaching gun safety, had vo-tech training, and added to his (dream list) brain surgeon for twenty years, nuclear engineering twenty years all around professional everything and modest (now you see what I mean…great guy!)!!!

His bronze plaque stems from his love of nature and his interest in the Native American Community and their rituals and celebrations. The Turtle caring the world on its back and braided sweetgrass as the frame. Also, for effect and modern culture, the Turtle has a Harry Potter lightning bolt on its forehead.
