Richard Kirk Albin

I am faithful, patriotic and believe in dedication to the family. I am a positive thinker who is responsible for my actions and I enjoy life to its fullest. I love big dogs, golfing, fishing, and camping. My hobbies are carpentry, mechanics, and family functions. I love to travel to different parts of the country and experience the sites. I believe that my life is guided by a higher power. Being there for others I find very fulfilling. Finally, I accept people for who they are and do my best to find the good in them. I am a Colorado native, and I cannot say I would choose another state. I have skied, snowmobiled, climbed a few fourteeners and fished since I was a youngster. Camping to me is like a night in a hotel only better. My latest adventure is the game of golf; I believe this is a game to be played for the rest of my life. For most, it would seem that the outside world is a mystery and yet I have one more state to make the fifty complete (Hawaii). I have experienced parts of Europe and even dipped down to South America a time or two; next on the list is Australia. My work is constant and has proven to be the best twenty years I have ever spent. The practical jokes are plentiful and true friendship is always a given, the stories I have at times seem endless. Laughter is a must and most would describe me as a jokester from the word go, although when times turn serious they can always count on me to stand up and take on those challenges. I say plan for the known and deal with the unknown as it comes. For those who may read this, they may get the impression that I am financially set, I can assure you that I am not. I am only rich with dreams and plans for a great future. Athletic I am, and I believe education comes in many forms. Dancing I will do, although some tell me I look foolish, lessons could be in the near future. I truly seek friendship. Richard K.
