January 23, 2006: Richie Bagan
I first met Richie on September 20, 2005. So why so long to make a story?
The problem is me - all the unbuilders have showered me with ideas, insights,
challenges etc - and it takes time for me to sort things out. Richie is
on of those guys that does it all - another continuous smile (sometimes
disguised). Here is Richie
Richie suiting up for some serious buring while Jim (banned to Drum Island)
simply grins
Richie cutting a crossbeam
Richie solving a problem - no surprise here!
Richie can burn anywhere
Richie can also sweep with his I-beam broom

One night, I caught Richie driving a highly mobile Cat -
here a blur - so Bob McCabe is not the only blurred guy in an
orange tee-shirt
and another view of all purpose Richie - burner, fetch and tote
man, cleaner-upper and simply a great guy
