I have to say that Rich is a great human being, in addition to being a very fine machinist. In the almost 8 years that I have known him and been at shows were the just plain stupid (no other way of saying it) people have made comments to their friends standing next to them about Riches models.In front of and ear shot of Rich. And you can tell the friend is shocked that they would say something so stupid. Rich will smile and then tell them about the engines or any part or the making of them. He has no secrets about how he does it or how many times he remakes the part till it comes out correct and he is happy with it.

He is truly a remarkable person, so if you see him at cabin fever, NAMES or any of the others come on up and chat. If you get the chance check out the issue with the Monitor engine detailed in Model Engine Magazine issue 17
