I just saw, today, that Rich passed away years ago. Obviously, we lost touch with one another. Like so may others, I met Rich on-line as a collector of his gorgeous works of art. We e-mailed one another quite often, and he would tell me about the old ladies in his backyard (turkeys if I remember correctly). He loved to watch them, and would give me progress reports. He was a remarkable man. I only wish I could have met him. However, I am fortunate that I got to know him, for the little bit that I did. Now, we are in the age of COVID-19. The pieces I have of his that are displayed throughout my house, remind me that there is still beauty in this world that we live in. Thanks, Rich, for perpetuating that beauty. Rest in peace, my friend. Kip
