Half the Man, Twice the Faith: The Rick Salewske Story by Cindy Woods
RICK SALEWSKE
Rick was born July 7, 1962, in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, as the 4th of five children and the youngest boy. He weighed 11 pounds, 11 ounces at birth, so being a “big guy” has always been a part of his life. His dad was a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, and his mom was a homemaker and, later, worked as an event coordinator. They couldn’t decide on a name for this fourth baby, so two days after his birth, Rick was still “Baby Boy Salewske.” Finally, a nurse demanded that his parents choose something, so they hastily decided on Richard, Rick’s dad’s name, and August, Rick’s paternal grandfather’s name, because Rick’s dad didn’t want any of his sons to be a “junior.”
