Here’s an update on Rico’s Wish , that you’ve been reading about for the past several months on these pages .   Saturday May 3rd was a miserable day weather wise , rain, rain and more rain  But it didn’t dampen the spirits of those family members and club members and friends who gathered to “ Blast Off Rico over the Skeet & Trap fields that he loved so much “ Around 20  family members , some from out of state and 10 or so club members and friends jammed into the ALGC Birdhouse due to the wet weather . We were forced to shoot the majority of the day off the porch of the birdhouse , but we racgot a couple of lulls in the downpour to do a 21 gun salute of sorts . Many said it was the most interesting wake they had ever been too . 

 Many of us  then moved to the pavilion to attend the “Cinco De Mayo “ that Rico was instrumental in starting as an annual event at ALGC. Many  "Margaritas “ were hoisted in Rico’s honor , thanks to Doug Saris & Lynn Zielaskiewicz.

           Thanks to the board of trustees for going along with Rico’s Wish , and to the Skeet & Trap directors  who helped all those who wanted to shoot do it safely.
