One of our family's favorite people is Rex Richards. They don't make 'em like Rex anymore. He's been a scout master and mentor for my boys and is an all around amazing person. Rex emulates all the characteristics my boys and I strive for in our characters. He's an honest-to-goodness cowboy that has invited us many times to go out into the mountains with him and his horses. Here's some of my favorite things about Rex: He's one of the best gardeners in town and keeps bees, builds old covered wagon replicas, has amazing woodworking and electrician skills, is an expert knot tier, a great backcountry skier, and most important, is a sincere father, husband and priesthood holder who strives to take care of and love his neighbor (everyone in town).
He's taken my boys and me into the mountains with his horses that always lighten our loads on our backs. He's pure joy to have around a campfire in the mountains and always has a great story to tell. We're hoping to have him along this summer on one of our backpacking trips. I deeply respect Rex and cooked up this image out of my memory from one of our trips into the mountains.
