I’m just re-reading “Temporary Duty”, and got to the part where the XO of the ship had to come down & straighten out the Lieutenant. Made me laugh out loud. I’d have loved to read the sequel.
Clear skies!

Ric taught me a great many things, not least of which was humility in the face of a superior analyst. I grieve for the loss of all the words he might have shared with us, but I rejoice that I had the chance to share so many words with him while he was here.

My best wishes to all the loved ones he leaves behind. May you find strength and comfort.
