Richard’s Work Used by National Non-Profit
Reel Recovery, a national non-profit organization that conducts fly-fishing retreats for men recovering from life-threatening cancer, used one of Richard’s works as the poster for their annual fund raising event held in Fort Worth. This event provided resources to send a group of men from the Fort Worth-Dallas area on a trip this spring. Richard was given a copy of the poster signed by the men or members of their families.
