Meet Dick Nichols of the Beaverton Oregon History Association
For Dick Nichols, growing up on his parents' farm made life pretty simple. During the school year, it was go to school, then chores. Some extra-curriculars like track – he never finished last, by the way, but mostly it was a list of to-dos for him and his two brothers. Then summer came, and it was a full day of work, which might include cleaning the barn or chucking bales of hay onto a truck. For fun, maybe some fishing. Simple. Now, it wasn’t a very social kind of life, but it was a good one.
There were no plans for college, really. Dick wasn’t much on plans. But the road led him to Clark Community College and an AAS in Auto Mechanics, then he followed his brother down the road to work at a car dealership. That road kept him out of Viet Nam. A good thing. But he did serve in the Air Force Reserve, stationed at the Portland Air Base which was inactive, so most of his time was spent watching movies. After that the road took him to a couple other gigs, then to a dance where he stepped in and took a spin with a young lady who didn’t want to dance with another guy. The two of them became peddlers and Dick eventually made a couple of other stops before he began to wonder about a place called Beburg.
