    Our thoughts and prayers to the entire Walker family. I remember as a kid going Brad and Jean’s house at the old Lion’s Park and thinking it was the fanciest house I had ever been in with their sunken living room. And my parents sure would have many snowmobile racing stories about Rick in their younger days. When we sold the Trophy Case, I missed sitting down with Rick, Lynn and Jean who dropped in for their weekly dinners. From the Watt and Whibley families our sincere condolences for one of the old time Bradford legends.
