If Anne Barrett was the first, Rick was the last. He joined us when we were making Knitwits Revisited. Vinny and I saw he was a talent! Rick stayed with Buzzco past Vinny's death, and he animated The Last Time our homage to him. Rick introduced me to digital animation and we did the TED-Ed spots together along with our other work though 2016, which was a particularly bad year for us.  Rick decided to return to his hometown in Maine. Aside from assisting Vince, Rick became our tech guy able to wrangle anything out of our computer programs, Rick became a wonderful animator in his own right!
