About the Author
In 1982, Dick returned to Nevada as NSEA's Executive Director and Lobbyist where he publically fought with casino owners while engaging in his private battle with cancer. He rejoined NEA Government Relations staff in 1988 to develop its state policy initiatives program and play a significant roll in organizing member support for President Clinton. His wife would soon face her own battle with cancer. In 1995, Dick began his work in Wisconsin, just as a Republican governor would begin the drive to privatize education with the first voucher program and sadly watched it reach fever pitch with the election of Scott Walker in 2010.
In retirement, Dick and his wife, Cynthia, lived in Madison, with their dog, Abe. When not seated before his computer you might find him protesting at the Capitol, drinking coffee and discussing the perils of politics while aging with his friends, attending a philosophy class with seniors, or working on his photo library. Dick enjoyed cheering for University of Wisconsin basketball, football, and volleyball teams as well as musicals at Madison's Overture Center, book clubs, Friday night fish, and keeping track of family and friends.
Sadly, Dick passed away unexpectedly on March 14th, 2014 at the age of 74. For his next project, Dick had hoped to write short stories inspired by his life as an organizer and had started a mystery novel based on his boyhood adventures in Okoboji. He is survived by his wife Cynthia, his sons Eric and Alec, and his daughter Clare - they are all thankful for the time he took to get his memoirs on paper....
