buckeye Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Hopefully this is in the proper area. Please move, if needed. I think most of you know who Rick Barrett is? Rick is THE defacto expert of all things Zep collectable. For many years he ran Merit Adventures, a Zep memorabilia company that sold probably as much stuff as most of us combined. Rick now sells a bit on ebay. Recently, Rick has hit some bad times. He now has colon cancer and is having a hard time financially. Rick's friends and family have set up a Go Fund Me page, where we can all give a little something to help him. Rick is a dear friend of mine. He's as a straight-shooter as you'll ever find. A wonderful person who has love the band we love as much as anyone! Please consider contributing!

This is going to be a long-term thing for him, with multiple treatments. Edited May 25, 2018 by buckeye added info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvlz2 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Sorry to read about this, haven't been buying for as long or as much as some have been, but he is a great person to get Led Zeppelin memorabilia from, every time I have ordered Led Zeppelin stuff from him, he always has sent neat little extra Led Zeppelin stuff with my order which is very cool, I like buying from him for that reason, and there is always a hand written thank you, very nice. Went ahead and ordered from his site this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
