    Hey Rick, I have been watching you since you started working for Parker. My opinion you were the best foreman he has ever had. I remember an incident where the ground was ready to mine,but you found out that it wasn't producing the gold it was supposed to. So you took a pan and went around to other parts of the cut and you found large gold by panning. You ran that cut instead and got excellent gold. Parker doesn't know how to treat people and that is why you ended up with Brandon this year. I think going out on your own was the best move you have made mining and one more thing your dad is a very cool guy.

    As a geologist for UKHM, I spent the summers of 1966 and ‘67 in the immediate area of Mt Hinton, which feeds Duncan Creek. I found 40-odd veins containing zones of exceptional gold and silver values. At that time, we had a very limited budget and all work was by hand (no dozer or mechanical drill). Unfortunately, I could never expose any economic tonnages. After I left, UKHM went underground on my highest grade discovery, but again found insufficient tonnage to be economical.
