Ultimate!

Rich is an Ultimate Frisbee Fanatic!! He plays on many teams pretty much year round. His team is regularly the winner or runner up for the intramural competitions at BYU.




As you probably noticed, Rich wears bright blue socks and cleats for Ultimate frisbee (he says because those particular cleats were the only ones at the store that fit him at the time!). We were visiting with him after one of his games and Nadia asked, "Why do you always wear these blue socks?" Rich told her, "Because I look cool in them. I wear them everywhere: To school, work, church... I ALWAYS wear them!" She said, "They're VERY weird and they're TOO bright!" So Rich asked her what she would do if he showed up to her school wearing the blue socks - would she talk to him or think he was too weird? She said, "Well first, I'd sing you a lullaby and make you fall asleep. Then, I'd take off your blue socks and put some other ones on!" She cracks us up!

In this picture, Rich is making the winning catch (while sandwiched between 2 other players). For a photographer - those bright blue socks prove very useful :).
