Hi Dick, sorry I didn't write last year because the Oct. trigger, namely the Hilly Hundred, was cancelled due to COVID (which you obviously did not have to deal with; lucky you!). They did have it earlier this month and, you guessed it, the Dick Repasky D700 was out there like always enjoying the Fall colors and sunshine. In fact, it was my main radio on day 2 because no one needed it for APRS. I wish I could use it to talk to you, but I have to be content with fond memories. Have a great year and I hope you have a lot of colors and sunshine and birds wherever you are.

It's so hard to believe that it's been 9 years. We're all getting together next week to celebrate mom's 90th birthday. I know that you'll be with us in spirit.
Much love,

Well Dick, you turned me into a birder after all! Your D700 is still humming and will soon be helping the Hilly Hundred like it has for many years. We miss you greatly.

Hello. I recently purchased a used copy of the Manual of the Grasses of the United States, by A.S. Hitchcock. It still had the library card in the back, and Dick Repasky had checked this book out three different times in 1986, when he would have been 30-31 years old. I am in my thirties and in love with plants and the natural world, and I get the impression Dick was similar. The few of us who have made the effort to try to learn grasses can relate what a challenging, frustrating, but ultimately fun experience it could be. Its a pretty small club of people who would use this book. I thought some of you may like to think of the memory of Dick working with grasses as a young man in 1986. Where was he working? What habitats, I wonder. The book is definitely seeing use now. Peace and love to whom it may concern.
