Blast from the past

Posted by David Hardy · 11 March 2015 09:26 PM

Decades ago, when I worked in Interior Department's legal shop, the Solicitor's Office, a good buddy was Rick Robbins, Assistant Solicitor for National Capitol Area Parks. They handled all legal issues for the Park Service in the DC area, things ranging from litigation over the rules for protests on the White House sidewalk to issues in the battlefield parks near DC (as I recall, extending out to the Bull Run battlefield). In those days, Rick was clean-shaven and, like all of us, in shirt and tie, with jacket in the closet in case we were called to a meeting of importance. He had one heck of a sense of humor, and really, really, really loved to hunt.

Rick just sent me this video of him today, retired to rural Virginia.

That video was simply fantastic. Rick seems like the best kind of guy we could hope to know (and sip some 'shine with).

A little redneck improv works wonders.
