To the editor:
Thank you so much, Sam Blackwell, for your comments on Rick Procter. You are so right on about him and his quirky personality. I remember him saying to me so many times, "Joice Ann, pay attention!" when I kept interrupting him to "get to the point" in one of his narratives. There was no way to understand where he was going with it, but that was the fun. As soon as the door opened at Port Cape with the blues vibrating the floor and walls, he would waltz in and take over. The last dance I had at the Port with him, he had to finish and sit for the first time ever. I miss Rick.
