I had the opportunity and honour to talk to Dick one year at Carlisle. He was autographing stuff, so I found a vendor selling racing photos from the past. I bought a picture of Dick racing his blue and white '67 R/T. I took it to him for an autograph, and told him that I had driven my 1967 R/T to the show from St. Thomas, Ontario. He recalled having raced at the nearby drag strip at Sparta many times. This track was a family owned one on part of Bob Harvey's farm. He said that whenever they showed up for a special race, the Harvey's would always invite him and his crew to their house for a meal. He said he had the highest respect for them, and this happened nowhere else. Dick was a good guy, and I am sure the respect ran both ways. This was an interesting piece of racing history that I had never heard before.

I never heard a bad word about the guy. Most said he was a real gentleman!
