Rodeo Dedication 2001

Atlantic Stampede 2001, our 10th anniversary rodeo, is dedicated to the memory of Dick McHugh, who passed away last February. Dick was best known as the long-time owner of the DC Eagle in Washington, where he developed a reputation of supporting the leather community and charities throughout the region.

It is only fitting that we recognize dick's contributions to the Atlantic States Gay Rodeo Association, Dick was a charter member of ASGRA and was the first person to provide us with sponsorship funding, giving a large proportion of the foundation money used to establish the organization. He offered essential busyness advice during the start-up period and enlisted the DC Eagle as a sponsor for each of our previous rodeos. He also donated use of his antique cars for our rodeo Grand Entry.

A few years ago, he explained his interest in helping ASGRA get its feet on th ground. He didn't really think we would improve his business. He simply thought we had a great idea and that we would bring something truly original and beneficial to the DC gay community. He saw his sponsorship and involvement as a way to help us make it happen. He also confessed that the thought of gay cowboys was a real turn-on to him.

These are the reasons why Dick was so dear to ASGRA. He was a keen businessman with a great sense of adventure, spiced with a dose of playful mischief. He was a generous friend who offered his support with no strings attached, We will miss his enduring interest in our success. He was a supporter, advisor, and friend - a man worthy of our dedication.
