He then went to Fingal High School where he met many wonderful and lifelong friends, graduating in 1970. When Rick was in the 5th grade the family moved out of Nome, so one year he attended school in Oriska, ND. Here he met his future wife, Linda Peterson. Rick joined the National Guard during his senior year. He was sent to Ft. Lenardwood, Missouri. What he didn’t like about it was that it was too hot.

He was very proud of this and his years in the Military. Rick worked for many farmers during his high school years.
