A Personal greeting from Rick Holt (Hello.wav 105 KB)
Thanks for stopping by. On these pages you'll get a glimpse of some of the things that I get excited about. For almost 50 years now I've been known to most folks as "Ranger Rick." For 27 years I worked at Downs Park in Anne Arundel County, Maryland and eventually took a position as Chief of Park Maintenance and finally Superintendent of Anne Arundel County Trails. In 2012 I retired from Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks. Currently I working half-time for the State as a groundsman for the State House grounds in Annapolis.
For many years I also wore another hat as "Farmer Rick,." since my wife Cindy and I for about 17 years grew vegetables for our roadside market on the old family farm on Mountain Road. We re-built the farm in a new image as we entered the new millennium. Find us at Dun-Pikin Farm - Pasadena, Maryland - Riding Lessons, Boarding, Training, Camp, Pony Rides, Pony Party,Petting Animals So the other half of my time is dedicated to the farm. Sometimes I'm not sure who I am, but I'm always BUSY!

Spent 12 years of my childhood in Catholic school. It didn't do me any harm. I'm being facetious, of course. Beyond my parents this was the single biggest influence on my character. Our Lady of Hope (Class of 1964) Archbishop Curley High School ( Class of 1968) |
