The son or daughter of David Derickson?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 11-21-2012
I knew that would do it. You're right Roger. It was C.M. Derickson, the son of David Derickson.
You win a week's stay with the Bucktails regiment. Just find someone with a time machine.

Sorry Roger. It wasn't Scott.
