Lorraine Aichele would like to thank everyone that has helped over the last 13 years to keep this farm running. To the many friends and family. With deep regret and sadness in the passing of my father-in-law Fred Aichele, I am sad to say Family Equine and Patchwork is being scaled down. Also Robert Aichele has left the farm and has taken up residence elsewheres. Chris LeDoux says "sit tall in the saddle and hold your head up high" which is something I have to repeat everyday as I struggle running this farm alone without my best friend and partner, Bob. Best to you Bob. You will always hold a special spot in my heart, as I continue to ride for the brand "RA." Your devoted wife and friend Lorraine 11-6-09
