I remember when I bought the first Geovid to be sold in the USA; I wrote a letter to Jim, Dick's brother, and he wrote one back to me. He assured me it would, like all products, be subject to their 30 day money back guarantee.

Class act, both of them.

Outfitted a lot of hunters, fisherman
and bass boats.
RIP Dick
Read where they started in a 8x10
shed in the backyard.
Maybe someone knows the story better...

I'm sorry to hear that about Dick. My condolences to his family.

I talked with him in Reno SCI once and he was jokingly mad at Mary because he wanted to go gamble but she made him stay at the booth. I also thought their book "Two Hearts, One Passion" was very good. They explained why they got so much more out of a hunting safari than driving around in a park on a photo safari.

Condolences to all of the Cabelas family on your loss; from all the staff at Hunt Australia, your friends.

As has already been said Dick was a great man, a gentleman and will be sorely missed by the entire hunting & fishing fraternity.
