Dick- We're just home from being in Kentucky for most of the month, ending with a great Family Reunion with about 80 Ritchie Family members, visiting, playing games, eating, and singing all the old songs that have helped bind this family together for so long. George, Jon and I, and we all hope that you had a most happy birthday, and are grateful to you for all you have done to preserve all the music that has come from so many families.....

You are living a life full of accomplishment- saving, appreciating, promoting, and joining in with all us other lovers of the music of our hearts. A great job, so far!- and may it go on- for many, many more happy years- for you and your family.    Jean
