Message: [QUOTE="Roger N, post: 3226346, member: 25"] I met him in 1963. A bunch of us from West Genesee decided to take a 50 mile hike as part of President Kennedy's physical fitness program. Some SU students had recently complected a hike and we wanted to show we were more fit. We dropped in at Post Standard to get some publicity and they pointed us to Dick. Good guy. I miss those old timers like Joe Beamish. There's very few writers left at the paper now. Regarding our hike, we left at midnight from Clinton Square on St. Patty's day and walked route 5 to someplace in New Hartford. Really screwed up my leg muscles and ended up taking blood thinners. Somewhere I have a photo of us all holding beers at our destination. [/QUOTE]
