Going to miss Dick at bowling and hearing him say – “that German girl says neun” anytime we left a pin standing. And, he got to say it a lot! This was so like Dick – last December he came to our home for a holiday buffet. Being busy I didn’t notice he had picked up a small plate to go through the buffet line until I got in line behind him. Then I noticed he had a tablespoon of applesauce, a tablespoon of salad and a couple of condiments on his small plate. He hadn’t even got to the main course of lasagna yet and his plate was full. When I yelled Dick, he turned, saw me and said – “get in line ahead of me”. I asked “where did you get that plate”? He had picked it from the dessert dishes. Didn’t even faze him that he was the only one with a tiny plate with tiny portions, but being the true gentleman, Dick wanted me to go ahead of him in line.
