Richard Retires Today
My great friend, Richard Reed, retires today. A skilled craftsman and painter, Richard helped me build my second Pygmy kayak 3 years ago. Pictured above at Lake Sammamish Park is Richard at our first launch of this 14′ beauty. For almost 3 months, he came over to my place almost daily to help build. His skill added a huge amount to how it turned out, and I owe him a lot of thanks for all his efforts.
Here is Richard helping me launch the first time this kayak was in the water. He is a true friend. He turns 66 in a week, and will head south to Arizona later this year for a sunnier winter.
Thanks Richard. We will miss you when you leave.
