What were Dick's favorite performances to watch?

Nancy L Studebaker

I dont know about performances, but I will tell you what Dick did love!  He loved to travel with Jan, I’m sure seeing every European country at least once.  Once, he bought a motorcycle in Italy, and toured Italy on his bike with Jan, and then shipped it home.  Another time, he bought a VW pop up camper and toured Europe (and shipped it home)!  He saw the entire US, and rode much of that on his motorcycle or with his motor home, including a 6 month trip from Ft. Lauderdale all the way to Alaska.  He owned a boat with a cabin when he lived on the intercoastal in Ft Lauderdale and he and Jan visited many islands in the Caribbean.  He and Jan went to Tahiti, and did a missions trip to Peru.

He also loved to read books about history, action thrillers and westerns, and of course his Bible.  He loved good food, especially Italian food,  and good wine or a cold beer. He was a smart and sociable man and always said about his work, “…and they actually pay me to do this!”  He loved his sales work, but also loved to relax and enjoy his “no days.”  Everything he did, he did with gusto and enthusiasm!
