When I first received the phone call informing of martin's death, I, like everyone else, was extremely shock. I really did not know what to say. I am a big believer that there is a reason for everything. Sometimes it revealed immediately, sometimes it takes a while, and sometimes it is never revealed (at least not to me). I can only look back and enjoy the time that we did get to share together. I can remember the conversations that we had about our plans for the rest of this year and next, and remember him telling me that there were other things he could be doing with his time and money, but racing was what made him happy and he needed to live for today. I'm sure even he did not realize how true those words could be. Everyone will have their on way of dealing with this. I guess my way was to create this page. I hope you all enjoy looking at these pictures as much as I did. They are courtesy of Vicki Sulpy, and he thought that the were the best shots that anyone had ever taken of him on his bike :-)
