Queried by one of this site's moderators / editors, Richie's sister Richelle writes in June, 2004: I came across this listing one day and have added to it a couple of times. It's a great way to keep people who tune into the site in the know as to what Richie is up to. He's out to fam & friends. Talked to him today about this listing and he said "Yeah, for sure it's ok with me!".
