I forget exactly how it came about but one day I happened to be in contact with Richard. He has a Kirkham 289 car and I wanted to see it. I had no idea who he was, and he had no idea who I was - it didn't matter. Soon enough, Richard had invited me over to his home here in Orlando. I spent hours there and he proceeded to share all kinds of cool pictures and stories. We looked at the Kirkham and F40 and some other cool cars. I saw his bikes, more than one Ducati as I recall with special paint jobs that he was so proud of. I have pictures of that stuff but that's not what I remember so well. He and his wife were so nice to me and treated me like I was a friend who came to visit. He seemed like a tough little man. I really hope Richard gets better soon.
