At 66, Dick is a graduate of the Naval Academy and a Vietnam vet. He was a patent attorney and later worked at the Department of Energy. Seven years ago he retired to Sarasota, pronounced himself bored, and got a job piloting the Myakka Maiden. Four times a day he and other captains take tourists by the boatload into the lake to look for the park's most celebrated megafauna.  "Everybody wants to see the alligators," he says.
