I cherish the memory of sitting in Dick's kitchen with a glass of champagne, talking about all the topics of Dick's fascinating life. My Poodle Makenzie peacefully lieing near Maggie, Dick tells me of the time that his Standard Poodle gave birth to a litter of puppies while he was away traveling! How he loved that Poodle, and those puppies, and having my girl come to visit him! A very special memory is that of one Sunday afternoon that Dick and Mary came to my house to visit. We had Sunday dinner, and then sat in the big room playing with a litter of 10 baby poodles....all taking turns in his lap! They were all of 5 weeks old, and gave him many many kisses and snuggles! I will miss him so much....the discussions of politics, Grafton, our homes, the Farm...and all of his solid, thoughtful, caring advice. I wish I had known him longer. I pray he meets my Mom, Dad and Kennedy in Heaven....sleep peacefully my friend.
