Thanks John.

We do have to be a little careful not to reproduce copyrighted items in full. We can abstract under fair use, but we can't just copy the whole thing.

I've truncated your post just in case the Washington Post decide they don't like people messing with their copyrighted articles. Some publications are very portective of their IP rights, as they should be.

There's usually no problem reproducing product press releases, since that's exactly what they are intended for!

Thank you for posting this - Dick had many friends in Rodanthe, NC who will miss him.

There has been a Memorial Fund established in his memory - to continue with work he was interested in with the Living History of the LifeSaving Service. If anyone is interested, they can email us for details at d-m-daugherty@mindspring.com

For anyone in the area, there will be a Memorial Service for him at Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station in Rodanthe, NC on Saturday, Sept. 13 at 10:00 a.m.
