Jack Rickard Tribute Memorial Mural

Season 1 · Episode 4

Sunday, November 5, 2023 • Duration 11:10

A 100-foot mural in honor of my dad, Marion Jack Rickard, Jr. A giant tribute for a larger-than-life personality... because overkill is always appropriate. But even more so when it comes to my favorite writer, musician, valentine, and overall person in any room... ESPECIALLY the dinner table. Completed MAY 9, 2023 by local artist, Malcolm McCrae, the "Jack Rickard Tribute Memorial Mural" follows his journey as a tech innovator, early adopter, and thought leader from the start of Boardwatch to EV conversions, all the way to solar energy. As a larger-than-life personality, Dad formed many lifelong friendships. It seemed only appropriate to have a mural done in his honor, to suit, at the site where all the magic happened - the home of EVTV, right in the historic art district of his hometown, Cape Girardeau.
