Rich, or Reabuck, as he is more commonly known, used to drive an ice cream truck in Panama City,
until he lost his license and job for arguing with a group of overweight Cubans who were making fun
of his turn signaling gestures.  Depressed over his dismissal from “Clowny Bars,”  he found solace in a beat-up
accordion and quickly immersed himself in the world of organ grinding.  In the 1930’s, he joined a local circus,
Shank Brothers, Spanky and Harvey Flying Circus, as a mere organ grinding monkey.  Three years later,
Rich was the main attraction of the circus.  People from all over the country would travel to Panama City
to see Rich perform.  Soon afterwards, he became the number one circus draw in the world.  But with fame
ultimately came misfortune, when a band of gypsy kleptomaniacs stole his beloved accordion after one of
his circus performances.  Shattered, Rich retreated to Hollywood in search of acting jobs.  For decades, he searched for work as an actor, but to no avail.  In the 1960's, he received two callbacks for the new television series, The Monkees, but the role was given to Peter Tork.  Eventually, "Reabuck," as he became known upon taking it as his stage name,
became a regular character on the hit series Hogan's Heroes, as Colonel Klink's pet monkey.  Just when things began
to look up for Reabuck, the show was cancelled and none of the nine episodes he shot ever aired on national television.
Beaten by Hollywood, Reabuck moved to Berks County, Pennsylvania, where he met up with Tommy Freese, Eddie Mace, and Ffej, and joined Right Turn Clyde only a few months after the trio had begun rehearsing in Tom's basement.
According to Ffej, he was eventually won over by Ffej's impression of James Brown, his ability to play German folk songs, and also because everything he said made Reabuck laugh.  What does Rich say about this?  "You're fishin', Jeff!"
