Thank you, Omaha Steve. You make our lives better. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us. We're all grateful that you are taking each day as it comes and sharing yourself on the days you are able
= new reply since forum marked as read
and what he reads can maybe bring back some warm thoughts or smile-worthy memories. The affection people here have for him - to read those comments and know they're about you - that's gotta make anybody feel better.
We all loves ya man!
I'm on an ages old laptop without a mouse. With my hands using the finger pad it is slow going.
Rick is such a great guy. I had no idea he would do that.

I hope your grandbaby feels better soon.
Enjoy the accolades and just relax today. Well, as much as you can with a sick child. 
I should have put more about Rick Smith. We do all know him, thanks to you.

In 2005, The Rick Smith Show stepped into a local radio world devoid of progressive talk. Rick took his straight shooting no nonsense Teamster outlook to the air and started mixing it up with conservatives from one of the reddest areas north of the Mason Dixon line. His show grew steadily, attracting listeners starved for a voice that spoke to working stiffs who felt the economic floor crumbling beneath them.
Five years after the start of his weekend program, Rick moved to new time slots and new stations. His show now airs Monday-Friday 9pm-12am on several stations across the state of Pennsylvania where he offers hard truth and commentary with a unique blend of clear-headed, gruff analysis and bemused observation. Lest things get too serious, he spices things up with a laugh or two.
Rick comes by his outlook honestly. He grew up in the projects of Cleveland, ducking local gangs while doing paper routes and odd jobs to help feed his family. After high school, he went out on his own, driving 18 wheelers as a proud union member. Nowadays, Rick, a father of three, is working on a Masters. He feels the calling to spread the word about the desperate needs facing workers, and to make the world a better place for kids growing up in what is becoming an America of rich and poor.
Rick believes somebody has to wake up the American working class to engage in the democratic process, but not in the corporate-funded Tea Party fashion. He has the rough edges and the grit of a Teamster; he’s a street talker, but a street talker with charm.
