On Saturday March 11, 2023, the Ricky, Inc. traveling T-Shirt made it all the way to Panama with good friend and former roommate Cyril Jaundoo.

This is the Ricky, Inc. T-shirts' first appearance in Central America.

We hope that Cyril and his family keep us updated with photos from some of their other incredible vacation locations.

Poolside in Panama, Cyril displays the organization's acronym on the back of our T-shirt.

Cyril and Rich go way back to 1978 when they were college roommate's and basketball teammates at Fitchburg State College. Rich was a senior and Cyril was a Freshman with nowhere to live on or near campus. Rich took him in as a roommate at his off-campus apartment and the two became good friends.

While on the FSC basketball team, Cyril was a sharpshooting small forward that

not only scored over 1,000 points, but went on to become the 6th leading scorer in Fitchburg State College Men's Basketball history with 1,400 points.

Thank you to Cyril and the Jaundoo family for representing and supporting Ricky, Inc. in Central America.

Good friends and long-time neighbors of Ricky, Inc., Joe and Diane Kaminski made sure to wear their Ricky, Inc. tee shirts while away on their vacation in Cancun Mexico. 

Thus far these tee shirts have been proudly displayed in Massachusetts, Maine, Utah and now Cancun Mexico. If you have a Ricky, Inc. tee shirt and wear it at a vacation location or another State/Country; please send us the photo and we'll add it to our website and the tee-shirt travel locations.  

Our goal would be to have photos in all 50 States in the US and many other countries.

Cancún, is a Mexican city on the Yucatán Peninsula bordering the Caribbean Sea. It is known for its beaches, numerous resorts, nightlife and is the only other country that Ricky, Inc. has visited. 

Thank you Joe & Diane
