This
is Rick with Carleton at his graduation from Randolph-Macon College, May 1977.
Rick's restaurant,
The Black Oak, in Leesburg, Va. clearly had a 'British pub' theme. The business
did well, but when Rick suffered a heart attack in the restaurant, he was told
by doctors to sell it, as the stress and long hours were killing him. Rick is
seated in front, the others in the group are, left to right, Carleton Penn III,
Gladys Lincoln, Joe Dodd and Rick's then wife Nancy Phillips (Carleton's mother),
who passed away in 1993. Carleton previously mentioned the Radio London poster
hanging in the bar, which read: 'Who Is Chuck Blair?, Just ask any of his ??,000
listeners." This can be glimpsed on the wall between Joe Dodd and Nancy Phillips.
