My parents Dorothy & Norman Cunningham worked for Ricky & Wally in the late 70´s. I had a HUGE crush on Rick and felt a definite connection with him. The last time I saw him was in 1980. I always wondered what he did with his life and where he was. I´m deeply saddened that I wasn´t able to reconnect with him. RIP sweetie. Until we meet again.
