"Richard H. Pfeiffer is the Executive Director of the Crawford County Mental Health and Health Department. Rick has dedicated his life to serving those in need. He wrote the book Trail of the Warrior to raise money to build a new addiction treatment center in Pittsburg, Kansas. Trail of the Warrior is a compelling story of hope. It details the struggles of addiction and those fighting for sobriety, forgiveness and peace. This book is a testament of how unconditional love from an animal can help teach one to overcome the demons of addiction. Trail of the Warrior is a must read book for those that believe in the power of change." Angie Hadley
