Ginny and Dick loved hunting, boating, fishing, bowling, ATVing, and archery. Ginny was once named the Women's National Indoor Instinctive Archery Champion. In their later years, they loved four-wheeling. They would ride through the mountains near Quartzsite, AZ where they lived. They also loved playing cards with their friends.
