More DescriptionRichard "Troublemaker" Roling does not know a stranger. He tells us of his life growing up in Quincy, Illinois during the Depression. Even though there is not a lot of money, Richard (Dick) makes the best of things. We see this attitude as he serves on a tropical island called Biak near New Guinea. He is alone as a weather observer for the United States Air Force, doing his job faithfully each day by plotting weather configurations on a map. When attacked, he hides in ditches but continues to do his work without a complaint. Today, he serves his church and community with the same attitude and perseverance he had growing up. Everyone loves to bearound "Troublemaker," since he makes us smile even when times are hard.
