Hint to: Not the Retiring Sort

This puzzle's honoree is Richard "Dick" King, M.D., Ph.D.

For every square in the puzzle grid where Dr. King's picture appears, the Across word reads "DICK" for that square, and the Down word reads "KING" for that square.

As a bonus, please read along the diagonal, starting in the upper-left corner (the square marked with the number 1) through the lower-right corner, for a heartfelt message to Dr. King that is appropriate to the occasion.
