The first time I saw a reference to Ricky Piester was in the opening pages of the Centuri catalogs in the early 1970s.

All the way down on the lower right is a small head shot.
That type is too small to read in the Ninfinger page, but it says:
A Phoenix boy writes: I like rockets. "I eat, sleep and drink rockets", my Mom says.
But then she says the same thing about my dad.
Ricky Piester
I thought that was a little hokey back then. But it got their son into print!
