I'm Ron, Riley's traveling companion.  After nearly 50 years in the classroom, I thought it would be fun to see some of the places I've read about in novels and short stories. I have a long bucket list of places I'd love to see, and I'm going to start out visiting Erick, Oklahoma, where I taught for many years. Erick will always be a place dear to me.  I met so many wonderful people and experienced so many wonderful times there.  The students I taught are now mostly in their late 40s and early 50s.  Some are grandparents already!
