The first time I sat on a horse as an adult was during my employment at Mohonk in 1988. Chris was there as I screamed. I liked his calmness & dry sense of humor. Later, I would do some real riding on a sheep ranch. Thanks for preparing me Chris! Sympathy to the whole Wikane family, Julie Traeger Julian

It's been a hard year but I know that Chris is hanging out with his friend Rachie, my mother, ...I have a photo of the last time they saw each other: she came up to about his waist. But they had their arms around each other. What a guy. love patty

Marty &Chris's brothers,
I will always miss Chris. He was one of the most kind and compassionate people I've known. I am so sorry to lose him and I send my condolences to you all. Yes, he was one of a kind, bigger than LIFE in many ways, and his sense of humor is something I will always remember and miss. Much love to you all, Patty
