Dick HogueDick Hogue was one of the founders of the Wednesday night meeting, "His Majesty the Baby."
Part of Dick's story was his relapse after 15 years' sobriety when the chase for "money, power and prestige" (as he put it) became more important than his sobriety.
In the 1960's, Dick developed Phoenix International Raceway and with his then-wife Nancy, owning and operating it for 10 years before selling it to businessman Malcolm Bricklin.
After his relapse, Dick stayed sober for more than 35 years before he passed away in June, 2001. In his later years, Dick loved sailing almost as much as he loved car racing when he was younger.
Dick sponsored many men over the years and it is hoped that some of them may share more of Dick's history for this entry. We are currently looking for a recording of Dick Hogue to post on this site, so if you have access to one, please drop a line to michaelp@mtsoledadmens.org
One of Dick's favorite sayings was the following:
"I am here for the peace of my soul; and to climb the spiritual ladder that leads me to God. Underneath are the everlasting arms."
