The December 10 Virginia Gazette has an obituary for Richard (Rick) Zick, previously a WAB member who occasionally joined the Friday rides in recent years. In 2006, Rick and I originated the Croaker rides that started at the Croaker commuter parking lot and have now become the Wednesday Wanders. Rick and I met in Home Depot, where he worked, and I was in the store wearing a t-shirt from the Emporia Great Peanut Ride. Another bit of WAB history. --charlie hart--
