I got to know Dick from helping at the Simplot games in Pocatello, Idaho for the past decade. He not only revolutionized the high jump, but dedicated his ENTIRE life to helping youth track athletes and anyone else who he could. My last interaction with him was singing Karaoke and having a beer at the bowling alley in Pocatello. Sad day

This is the first time I’ve seen Poky referenced on Reddit lol. I worked for the newspaper there, covered the Simplot Games and interviewed Dick a handful of times. Great guy.
