RP: I'm going to conclude our interview, Dick, by asking you if you had any advice or insights to share about your incarceration experience with future generations say ten or twenty years from now, young people, what would that be?

RS: If we say that this is a country of laws and this is a country that promotes freedom and liberty and civil rights and that sort of thing, we ought to go by that. We got to remember these things, we want to remember the laws that run this country and the traditions that this country claims to follow and not let emotions and prejudices and so forth overrule that. I think a lot of people have a lot of good things within them and let them show that. Don't let the bad parts of people overrule the good parts of people.

RP: Thank you on behalf of myself and Mark and the National Park Service for a great interview, Dick, appreciate your time.

RS: Thank you very much. Thank you for having me.

RP: It's an honor.
