John Peter "Pete" Ricketts is the former Chief Operating Officer of Ameritrade . He was the Republican nominee for the 2006 U.S. Senate race in Nebraska which he lost to incumbent Ben Nelson. Ricketts was born in Nebraska City, Nebraska, and now lives in Omaha .
Even though Omaha is just about an hour and a half away, and the town of Ricketts is in Iowa's Fifth Congressional District, which is about as red as you get, even in a red state- this ultra right-wing wing-nut has nothing to do with Ricketts, Iowa.
But you'll have plenty to do if you come to the annual reunion of adults who were kids in Ricketts, the third weekend in July. If you're from Ricketts, or have family who is and you have pictures or stories to tell- please send it to our webmeister; ted.mallory-at-gmail.com
Hey, if you have more ideas for our "Not the same Ricketts" files, especially if they're campy, kitch or corny- send them too!
