While I have never met Tom Ricardi, I would like to applaud him for his gracious presence here in Franklin County.

We are able to witness the work of this man who gives so devotedly to rescuing and healing our local birds of prey. Let’s all cheer him on in our hearts.

When I think of the many birds he has healed and released, I picture them flying over his home, silent gratitude on the wing.

I believe, in their hearts, they know the special goodness of this one irreplaceable human.
