Many, many years back, when JoAnn and I were just married and starting our ranching career, there was a group of fall deer hunters that camped at an old, vacant log home of our neighbors. The Bismarck, N.D., bunch was made of some of their finest, including a doctor, a lawyer and business leaders. Three of them endured the decades of time and adopted our ranch as their “home base” and became some of our lifelong best friends that included Jim Mollison, Jerry Woodcox and Doctor Bill Riecke.
A tribute to Doctor Bill Riecke in the highest honor and respect
