I just wanted to take the time to acknowledge that today was the day that Richard Martin of RicAli kennels passed. He left an impression in the bulldog world and even in his obituary it mentions his love of the dogs. We will always remember him even though we didnt have much time to really get to know him. I remember our last conversation when he questioned the food we feed our dogs as well as what we planned to feed guests at our kennel and he responded in approval. To some that may be a silly question, to me it showed he genuinely cared about all dogs extending beyond his own. I have said over and over that I would have loved to have gotten to know him better. He rests here on the property but yet he lives on.

Thanks for the reminder Marian. Rich was a huge character and a wonderful man whose friendship I will always cherish.
Let me tell one Rich story. He was good at many things but driving a car wasn't one of them. He wrecked something like 36 cars. The year before he died a car rental company had the honor of renting him a car for a trip to Florida. Sure enough Rich rolled it. I believe Maximus was with him. The car went all the way over and landed on it's wheels. It was still running and Rich drove away.
Thinking of you Man.

I think he will be proud you are taking so good care of the property and do a good job concerning the Leavitt's. I think many people would have loved to meet him...a good thing the blood of his lines live further...
