It is easy to see why your family has not "unraveled" and still love this industry and do everything possible to uphold traditions where the horse always comes first. My late father, Chuck, spoke with absolute reverence of Ms. Alice. If I heard it once, I heard it 100 times that you never want to get into an argument over breedings with Ms. Alice because you were always going to lose. And your brother Mike is a throwback to the old hardboots that made this industry. Dad trusted him with his horses and believe me that was something special.

I just wanted to commend you on taking the time to reflect and bring to light the life of a fallen and cherished comrade. My friend Jude Feld recently wrote such a reflection of Cliff Guilliams. It is good to let other people see the side of such individuals in the horse industry and in life in general. A side, that without the compassion of individuals such as yourself, would just be a name in the long list of names of people that have helped to grow such a great and amazing industry. Thank you again sir for taking the time to let us see Mr. Buddy Bishop, when he had spent all of those years working diligently to help us see so many sides of the industry. I will part by also thanking everyone at Mill Ridge Farm. I have made several visits to your farm to view your stallions and everyone there has truly done a tremendous job of keeping such an amazing legacy going to this day. I still cherish the numerous times that I was welcomed onto your farm and see the great Diesis, before his unfortunate passing. Thanks again and the best of luck in all of your endeavors. I look forward to meeting your acquaintance sometime sir. Until then, Godspeed.
