Ricky Englebert
Rick Englebert (aka "Frank," as a child) was involved in hunting, motorcycles, and working on cars and trucks. He also enjoyed dancing of all kinds (country, square, and round dancing.) Rick participated with his family in re-enactments with muzzle loading and Rendezvous. He was awarded a Safety Achievement award at his place of employment: Merrilat Industries, just within six months of his death. His white 1972 Ford F-150 pickup was used in the movie "Return to Wounded Knee," in the scene of the parade through the town (towards the beginning of the movie.) Ricky was a family man and greatly enjoyed his time playing with his step children and nieces and nephews. (The Cobblers Class of '79 wishes to thank Rick's former wife, Ms. Robin Pladson, for providing this information about our passed classmate. April, 2010.)
