Richard "Ricky" Chatwell started calling when he was 16 in Brunswick, GA. Dick Barker from Waycross, GA taught him how to call. He moved to Midland, Texas when he was 19 and called for a while, but then quit. He started calling again when he was 32 years old and called a few years as the club caller for clubs in Snyder, San Angelo, Iraan, and Crane, Texas. He called together with David Davis for a couple of years for club dances and festivals across Texas and New Mexico. Ricky now lives in Rockport, Texas and is retired from calling.
