Brief Bio:

I can always tell how long someone has know me if they call me Dick, I know I have known them for a long time. I like it but having to sign so much paperwork as Richard, I just started going by Richard. After graduation, I worked with my father for a while on the family farm. I married in 1972. I just wasn't that happy being a farmer. I had learned to fly while in high school and loved it. I thought I could be a bush pilot or mission pilot but my eyes were not good enough for a commercial Pilots license so I worked as an aircraft mechanic. In 1983 I started my own company (Bogert Aviation). Bogert Aviation started manufacturing aircraft parts and special tools for aviation. I divorced in 1996. I married Suzan in 1998. We have been having a pretty good time.
We have gone on to design and build products for the Army, USMC, the USAF, NASA, SPACEX and Rivian. Today we manufacture commercial jack and lifting equipment as "SAFE JACK. I also design marine products under the dba of Uncle Norm's Marine Products

I became a ham radio operator about 4 years ago. I am involved in the the ham radio community. I like boating and fishing. I like shooting and archery (It's a good thing I do it for fun because I'm not very good at either anymore.) .
Sue and I have a Cabin at Twin Lakes on the Colville Indian Reservation that we use a lot during the Summer and we bought a home in Surprise, AZ a couple of years ago for the winter.

I remember Steve as being a very good guy. Sorry to hear of his passing. Sounds like he grew up to be a fine man.

Greg, glad to hear from you. I had no idea that you had been a lineman! What a career. I bet you have lots of stories to tell. Wenatchee is a beautiful area when it isn't on fire.
Regards,
Dick Bogert

Jim was wicked smart. There was no doubt. A funny guy and very personable, I can imagine that he was a great teacher and a awesome human being.
