"I met Rick in Miami in late June, 1993. Great guy - made me feel comfortable when I knew nobody. In the next couple of years he proved to be the only sane voice in his household (his room-mates were also close friends of mine... but they were a bit less "grounded", let's say.) Rick is down-to-Earth, unconcerned with popularity en masse (unlike his roomies) and someone I could always measure. Add to that, he was bold enough to stage a faux home-robbery to scare his roomies into maybe locking the door of their house once in a while!... hahaha, that was awesome!"
