I have just set up a Go Fund Me account for the surviving family of Rick Hudson.
When I asked his family for review, they informed me that Rick was not hiking with his son Travis in a state park in New Mexico – as was reported — when he was stricken on Saturday.
The family contacted me this morning and said that Rick and Travis were branding cows on the family ranch when he suffered a heart attack.
I am attaching a link to the fund — http://www.gofundme.com/cxu6kc –because I am aware that hard times may be ahead for the family.
Two other collections are under way. One is for a scholarship fund through our Exchange Club and the other is for the memorial service on Saturday evening at 6:30 at the Little League field at Bill Botts Field.
My concern is strictly for Rick’s widow Terri and her children.
I am a member of the Exchange Club, and that is where I met the Hudson family.
