Born Feb. 15, 1936 in Buffalo, NY, died August 10, 2009 in Tucson, AZ. The son of William F. and Faye (Rowe) Hahman, Dick was raised in coal mining towns in Pennsylvania, then in Washington, DC, as his father was first sent to England to engineer the rebuilding of England's coal mines following WWII, then served as Undersecretary of the Interior.

Dick attended St. Albans, then American University where he lettered in track, football and wrestling. He received his Masters in geology from Univ. of West Virginia. He was a registered geologist in several states, and was an expert trial geologist, never going beyond his deposition. He was known for integrity and truth in geology. He worked in exploration in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Chile (at El Habra, next to the mine his father opened in the 1920's).

Dick was passionate about geology, America, and several causes he supported including the Tucson Rod and Gun Club, the NRA, People for the West and St. Jude's Anglican Church. He was involved in many political battles involving geology.

Dick was a totally devoted father and husband. He leaves behind his wife of 25 years, Kath Macaulay, and his sons Kevin Graap (U of A) and Maj. Brian Collins, USAF and granddaughters Jessica, Jazmin and Jade Collins. His idol was John Wayne.

A memorial service led by Rev. Fr. Keith Bernaducci of the Cathedral at Lexington, KY with reception following will be held at St. Jude's Anglican Church, 8245 E. Seneca, Tucson, AZ. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Tucson Rod and Gun Club, P.O. Box 12921, Tucson, AZ 85732, or to TMC Hospice, Peppi's House, 5301 E. Grant Rd., Tucson, AZ 85712.

Exploration geologist and long-time member of the Arizona Geological Society. He developed the logo for AGS. He did field investigations in a number of counties in North Carolina and his research on the metallic deposits in the Carolina Slate Belt were compiled into North Carolina Geological Survey Bulletin 84, 1976. His research in Arizona on geothermal site evaluations were published over a period of years in progress reports such as the one called: Low-temperature geothermal reservoir site evaluation in Arizona: Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology, Geological Survey Branch, December 1977.

He was an active participant in a number of geological societies and was a registered professional geologist in Arizona (31410), Oregon (G208), and Wyoming (PG-848). He is credited, along with geologists William Greenslade, Walter Heinrichs, Ben Dickerson, Ted Eyde, and Paul Manera for founding the Arizona Section of American Institute of Professional Geologists. Work on this began in February 1975 and the first By Laws, established on 9 November 1977, were certified by Paul Manara and endorsed by Richard Hahman.
