Letter from the President of NRRHA July 17, 2009
I have some sad news to forward to the NRRHA club members. On July 15th, 2009, we lost a dear friend, Kurt Pipinich. I feel fortunate to have known Kurt, he was a mountain of a man, a gentle giant.
Renee and Kurt were married 27 yrs. best friends for sure, my heart goes out to her. Kurt helped all of us get NRRHA up and running. He was a lifetime member and sponsor. At Renee`s side he also helped develop the MRHA, was an NRHA Lawson bronze winner, and a member of NRHA since 1992. We will all miss him very much.
The Service will be held at the Gateway Community Center in Helena Wednesday July 22, 2009 at 11:00 A.M.
We are having a benefit auction for Renee to help with the many medical and financial hardships she is facing .The auction will be held at the Majestic Big Sky Classic show at the end of August. Please donate what ever you can , new, used, training, lessons or cash every little bit will help. and anything will be appreciated.
