Alex,
You have done such a good thing.
About Rick, everyone here learnt a lot from him. I remember the time we spent via pm to speak about ribbon bar and research. The most important for me I remember the feeling I had when I heard about his death. And three day after, I received a letter from him sending me informations about some ribbon bars I have in my collection. I still keeping all his letters in a box and sometimes I open it and read them. I truly miss him.
I try to keep his spirit helping people about research but it's not the same without the master
