Alumni Success Stories
Rick Bayless: From running a football to
running a software company, 30 years later
You could call Hugo native Rick
Bayless the Moonlight Graham of
football.
Archie “Moonlight” Graham was
a character from the 1982 novel
“Shoeless Joe,” written by W.P.
Kinsella, which was later made into
the movie “Field of Dreams.” Graham
was a young minor league baseball
player who, in 1922, was brought up
to the major leagues by the New York
Giants right before the last game of
the season. In that game, Graham
saw one inning of play in the outfield
but never got a chance to bat. The
following season he was sent back
down to the minors. Rather than try to
work his way back up to the majors,
Graham quit baseball and eventually
became a doctor in his home town of
Chisholm, Minn.
Years later - according to the novel
- in an Iowa cornfield that became a
baseball field, Graham put to rest his
lifelong regret of never having batted
against a major league pitcher.
In 1983, another small-town
Minnesota kid found his own “field
of dreams” in Iowa. It was called
Kinnick Stadium.

Rick Bayless was a Forest Lake High
School football and track star, but he
was not recruited by many Division
I college scouts. Rather than letting
his dream of playing big-time college
football fade away, he decided to
attend the University of Iowa and,
without a scholarship offer in hand,
walked-on as a freshman.
He was redshirted his first year, but by
the time he was a junior Bayless was
the Hawkeyes’ starting halfback. That
year he became only the third running
back in Iowa history to rush for 1,000
yards and the fourth ever to lead his
team in both rushing and receiving
yardage.
He finished the 1986 season second in
the Big Ten in rushing and was named
Team MVP, First Team All-Big Ten
and Honorable Mention
All-America.
His senior season was
essentially lost to a knee
injury, yet Bayless ended
his career as Iowa’s 10th
leading all-time rusher.
He went undrafted in
the 1988 NFL draft and,
after ACL surgery, was
forced to sit out the
entire year. In 1989, the
Minnesota Vikings took
an interest in him and he
was picked up as a free agent.
Bayless spent five weeks on the
Vikings’ active roster that year but
- like Moonlight Graham - took the
field only once. On Nov. 12, 1989, in
Tampa Bay, Bayless entered the game
as a special teams player. That was
his only appearance on the field that
season. The next year, he was invited
back to training camp.
He now had a big decision to make.
“I had to think about how football was
beating my body up and everything
else,” Bayless said. “I didn’t feel that
my opportunity was there for sports.
I had just had a son, started a family,
and all the other stuff, and I had to
weigh it all out and see what was
important to me.”
Instead of returning for the 1990
season, Bayless - who had been
plagued by injuries for much of his
career - hung up his cleats, never
having had the chance to carry a ball
as an NFL running back. In the 30
years since his graduation from Forest
Lake High School, Bayless has found
success in a different career.
No, he is not the famous chef named
Rick Bayless. This Rick Bayless
has taken advantage of his computer
science degree and has been working
in software development. Today, he
is chief operating officer of Jaryba,
a company located in Reno, Nev.,
that manages software that runs on
modern super-computers.
Local Partnerships:
Joining together as a community
Third annual Lake Fest features a full week
of fun and graduation-related events
What once was a two-day
weekend celebration before
the high school’s graduation
ceremony has grown into a full
week of community events.
Lake Fest 2013 marks the third
summer that Forest Lake Area
Schools, the city of Forest
Lake and the Forest Lake Area
Chamber have teamed up to
present a fun-filled collection of
events from May 31 to June 6.
Most of the events from last
year’s highly-successful Lake
Fest will be returning, including
the popular “Build-A-Boat
Challenge”, as well as the Bald
Eagle Water Ski Show.
Fishing Tournament
The First Annual Grace Haines
Memorial Fishing Tournament
will be held during Lake Fest
on June 1 from 8 a.m. - noon on
Forest Lake.
Rockin’ Hollywoods
In the past, the Movie in the
Park event was the Friday night
kickoff to Lake Fest. Movie in
the Park will continue, but this
year it will follow a performance
by the popular rock band The
Rockin’ Hollywoods, held earlier
in the evening.
New events this year include
a fishing tournament, a Friday
performance of the Rockin’
Hollywoods and an exhibit by the
Forest Lake Historical Society.
Historical Society Exhibit
The Forest Lake Historical
Society will be promoting its
new museum by displaying an
exhibit at Lake Fest that features
local schools in the Forest Lake
area from 1850 until the 1980s.
Hall of Fame Inductions
New members will be inducted
into both the Forest Lake Area
Schools District Hall of Fame
and into the newly-named Forest
Lake Area High School Arts &
Athletics Hall of Fame.
The Arts & Athletics Hall of
Fame will still include sports
players and coaches, but now
students and advisors who were
standouts in other Minnesota
State High School League
sanctioned activities such as
speech, debate and music will be
included as well.
A reception to honor both new
and current hall of fame members
will be held on June 4 at Forest
Hills Golf Club at 6 p.m..
