and Mr. Radar. Hoping that all improve quickly and completely.

<DIV>On another note, we had a very successful day one at Basset Fest. The
weather was great, and fun was being had by all. Lots to do, see, eat and
of course spend money to help the homeless and needy hounds of Basset
Buddies. We had a great turnout, and tomorrow is to be an even better day
weather wise. Any droolers in the area come on out. On another note,
Charlie brought in $3,000.00 in pledges to help the needy houndies. </DIV>
