Not the same Ricketts #27

Pat Ricketts played cornerback for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Ricketts finished his Senior year (2003) with 35 tackles, including 26 solo stops. He had a season-high five tackles that year against Texas A&M.

Sure, there are plenty of folks around these parts who consider themselves Husker fans (not EVERYBODY in Western Iowa supports the Hawkeyes or the Cyclone) but let's face it, he really have doesn't have anything to do with the TOWN of Ricketts, but MOST of the rest of this website does!

If you grew up in Ricketts, be sure to plan on coming to our annual reunion, the third Saturday in July.

If you have memories or pictures of Ricketts to share, email them to our webmaster: ted.mallory -at- gmail.com.

Not the same Ricketts #26

Wesleyan University (Connecticut) Art Professor Rowland Ricketts and his wife Chinami use natural plant dyes to create both artworks and functional textiles. They really like indigo (kind of a blue-violet color).

You're right, they look like nice enough folks, but let's face it, they don't really have anything to do with the TOWN of Ricketts, but MOST of the rest of this website does!
