Rick,

We will miss our time with Duck at Road America.  Seeing him each year =
at the SVRA Spring Vintage Festival and catching-up with him was always =
a great start to our season.  We would usually spend a good hour =
together at the start of the event  I originally met Duck at Skip Barber =
Driving School and at events that I participated in.   That was when =
Skip Barber was really rolling as an organization and doing well.  =
Before the last owners destroyed it.

Duck was always willing to share what he knew about a track, track maps =
that he had put together and videos that he made.  If you ever did a van =
ride with Duck at Road America, you got to learn some really good stuff =
from him.  He would teach you things and never make you feel dumb =
because he knew more than you.  That is a rare quality these days.

Rick is correct about Duck going fast in little cars.  I have a video =
that Duck did in a Bobsy and he could really fly in that little car.  He =
really liked Bobsy=E2=80=99s.  When I asked him about Bobsy one day, he =
called them =E2=80=9Chonest little cars.=E2=80=9D  He was very =
comfortable driving them. =20

We will miss seeing Duck driving around the paddock on a scooter, or in =
his car with his dog.

Duck helped me a lot and I am sure that he will be missed by many.

Paul Ricco
