In April 2008, the Make-A-Wish foundation sent Barry and I (wish-granters) to Seneca Falls to find out what Richard wanted more than anything.The conversation went like this:
Barry & Melisa: If you could have or do anything in the whole wide world, what would it be?
Richard: A clubhouse!
Barry & Melisa: If you could have a second wish, what would it be?
Richard: A playhouse!
Richard loves firetrucks and was so excited to show us the certificate he received when he was named an honorary firefighter with the local fire department. We knew that his very own station would be the perfect place to display his firefighting gear and memorabilia:
Over 100 friends, family, and community members came to Richards house today to watch the ribbon cutting ceremony for his new clubhouse, include four fire trucks and over 10 firemen.:

Today has been an amazing day. I'll post more photos as soon as I can.

There is no greater gift than the gift of giving!
