With 9 business or personal trips canceled due to COVID-19, Rick has settled for a masked-up driving trip from his home in Minnesota to the Center of the North American Continent - located in Rugby, North Dakota! But not seeing many masked people in ND.

Rick and Nita Luis are back home in the Twin Cities after a cruise in the Western Caribbean through the Panama Canal. When they got to Costa Rica, Rick - always game for anything - ate a termite. "It tasted just like peanuts," he reports. But judging from this picture, it doesn't look like he enjoyed it much.

Things began looking up as they sailed near the north Coast of Cuba - they were barred from landing by the Trump administration – and bumped into a fellow passenger who took one look at Rick's Yale t-shirt and asked, "What class?” "'67," said Rick, and the other guy beamed. It was Tom Jones, who was on the boat with his wife Gail. "I must admit I didn't recognize Rick, but I recognized his t-shirt," says Tom. "I was delighted when he said, ’67."

Rick and Nita Luis have long been active in corporate governance of the Louis August Jonas Foundation, which operates Camp Rising Sun in Upstate New York, a leadership camp for 15-year-olds from around the world. Here they are shown with a former Executive Director David Ives (a Nobel Prize nominee) during a July 2019 Camp Rising Sun Alumni Reunion. Rick was a Camper as a 15-year-old, and it helped inspire him to apply to Yale.
