Ricky was a good kid during his teen years. He never got into trouble. The only questionable thing he did was trying to be a punk. Of course, nobody knew this, until these pictures surfaced. This was the time period before he fell in love and got married. He felt silly concerning these pics but as his mother I love them. He is now deceased, I cherish every picture of him, did not want to throw these out. He reminds me of a red headed 'Elvis'. Ricky did smoke for a short time period but did quit.
