"Uncle Rick" Feature

(We are going to highlight family members during the month of their birthdays. This year we are going to focus on the aunts and uncles. Although there is much that can be told, we are going to ask each person the same questions during the year. If you want to know more, you can always ask. :))

Uncle Rick

Uncle Rick is number seven of the eight of us. As such, he had all of six of us to mother him in addition to Mom and Dad. We used to fight on who got to hold him next. I remember one of our family night games was to sit in a circle when he was learning to crawl (then walk) and take turns calling to him so he would come to us. Our version of "throwing a ball", I guess.

Now

Rick attended BYU and graduated in Stats. He works currently as a "Actuary and/or Investment Consultant with "Hewitt EnnisKnupp, An Aon Company" Basically, I help corporations manage their pension investments wisely."

Then

Rick lists his hobbies and interests as Architecture. I also like writing, art, games, some sports, and playing on a city rec league volleyball team with Linda.

Favorites:

color Cobalt Blue

food-home Lasagna, eating out Curry

professional/college sport teams You have to ask? BYU basketball/football

vacation spot Oregon (I'd say Germany but that was likely a one-time deal, not like we are going to hop

over there again anytime soon),

game Too many to choose -- but maybe I will say "Diplomacy"

Something you are planning to do this year (before your next birthday) Exercise (more than once a year). Celebrate 20th anniversary with Linda.

Church calling 2nd counselor Bishopric.

With Mom and Scott

A Giberson memory All of my memories are Giberson memories, as I was born with the name. But if you want to go back to old family days, I have very fond memories of various Family Home Evening Theatres.

Rick with his family: Linda, Katie, Tana, Duncan and Thad

He and Linda met at BYU and have been married "Coming up on 20 years!". They have four children--Katie, Tana, Duncan and Thad. They have moved around a bit, but currently live in Grapevine, Texas.

And there you have it. Happy Birthday month, Uncle Rick.
