Dugout Dick dies

Well, this story is very off-topic of an eccentric fellow who led a very interesting life in a remote part of Idaho, Elk Bend,and died Wednesday .After leaving home at a young age, leading the life of a hobo, joining the service, he lived out the rest of his years in a very self-sufficient lifestyle in caves, never owning a tv or telephone. His real name was Richard Zimmerman, if anyone is able to post a link of his story, I have yet to learn to do that. Thought some fellow eccentrics would enjoy the story, as I did.
