Brian Hartzell

July 7, 1977 ~ June 8, 2009

Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; we will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind.

He leaves behind the memory of a vibrant young man who set high expectations and met them. He leaves behind a family that he loved and cared for very much  ... and visa versa. He leaves behind two breeds that he refined ... and in many ways defined. He leaves behind friends, fellow rabbit enthusiasts and co-workers that will always wonder, what would he have set out to master next? He said to me a few weeks ago that life doesn't get any better than this. I'm glad he felt that way.  And I'm glad to have known him. May he rest in peace.

Because Brian Hartzell greatly valued knowledge and excellence and started his rabbit career as a youth, the ALFRC would like to honor his memory by awarding scholarships to youth.  The first scholarships will be awared this fall and will be announced at the 2009 ARBA Convention in Del Mar, CA. Donations should be sent to: AFLRC c/o Paula Grady P.O. Box 267 Elbert, CO.  80106 Please make checks payable to the AFLRC with the memo 'In Memory of Brian Hartzell'
