One of my few giddy memories from high school was Mr. Rankin's class -- whom Rick called "Strankin" ("Mr. Rankin" slurred) - wherein Henry Henry, Rick and I laughed consistently (I know -- utterly irresponsibly) inside at Mr. Rankin's out-of-it-ness. Rick introduced me to deadpan humor in that class.
Just a great guy -- Rick Grove...to be sorely missed...
