Hi Debbie, I was thinking of an old friend that I had when I was in the Air Force the other day.It was Rick. We were stationed toge ther and were on the same weapons loading crew for two years in England from May 1978 untill April of 1980.We were at Bentwaters Royal Air Force Base were we worked on F-4 fighter jets and A-10 attack aircraft. We worked together every day and spent alot of time together in our personal lives. We also spent the next two years together because when we left England we were both stationed in Clovis New Mexico at Cannon Air Force Base were we worked on the F-111D fighter bomber aircraft. I lost track of Rick after I got out of the Air Force in 1981. I rejoined in 1983 and retired from the Air Force in December of 1998. I was talking with a friend the other day and was talking about Rick and what a great dart player he always was. If you can believe it I still have the same darts from when I lived in England. It was after that conversation that I decided to try and google Rick. That next morning at work I did and my heart broke when I saw that he had passed away in 2006. I soooo wish I would have tried to contact him much much sooner. I was able to see pictures of him with all of his dart teams and friends. He looked like the same old Rick to me. And very happy. I have kept in touch with three people that Rick and I knew from England. Two of them were my roomates. One lives in Kansas and I called him today and told him about Rick. He was sadden by the news, I plan on contacting the other two friends this weekend. One is in New York and the other is in Rhode Island. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I would love to hear from you so that we could exchange some stories about Rick. I have some great old pictures from our times together in England. My home number is 1-505-294-5747 and work number is 1-505-853-3450. My email is: mrevakwrench@msn.com, I hope to hear from you soon. Take care, Mark Revak
