<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I normally do not get in to these kinds of hoop la's but
everyone is worried what is to become of the Drool.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Well I have been a memeber what 13-14 years. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I do not think the old memebers are leaving cause of what
was said,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It is the private messages that are sent and they are sent
with total disrespect. I have known ( never ) met Siliva, Sandy and Pam for many
years ( and Ester To ) All of these ladies deserve Total Respect. Most of
the ones that were here I think this list start with 6 in the orginal group, are
the foundation on which the Drool is built. Nancy, Karen Fetter, TBO ( I know
allot of us really miss him-The Beared One, Siliva, Who is a wealth of
information, she has been with Basset for many years, Sandy Gaston, who was a
wealth of information that was sent down to her either by Fey Fey or Melba
Toast. It was the reporting she gave that gave at the Bridge, that gave all
hope that our beloved basset were OK. I know many people must of been
waiting to hear when they lost their beloved friend.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Pam Tanzy who over the years have done wonderful Beatiful
Paintings of Duncan and Gracie Girl.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was very fortunate to get some of those painting on a
Christmas card I have all of them in a frame hanging on my wall. They are very
treasured as a wonderful gift. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Sandy Whittenberg Who gave us all the Wonderful gift of
watching Red Bay Father Christmas (Nick) grow up on the Drool. His stories to me
are a treasure cause you know once they are gone all you have a memories. We now
get to watch Norm grow up on the Drool and again what an honore it
is,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Nancy and Cruriso who started this list so that other like
her could learn about Bassets, Curiso was a very big part of this list and also
made Forever King at one of the Mich. Basset Rescue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Curiso and Nancy worked ever so hard to help Basset Rescue
via the Drool</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Easter and Homer- who could forget Homer as he kept us all
in stiches over the things he did it was so very hard not to laugh, He taught us
not what to do.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Karen Fetter who was or had Giglo Jake, who wowed all the
lady bassets- There was always along line wanting to get their paw on him, just
one touch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Karen Clemente who had our beloved Ashly, I was always
amazed at what Miss Ashly could do, I still have a picture of her as she was
sitting at the Computer with her paw on the key board. I actuall had it in my
mind she could do this and was one amazing basset.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Beth Hindcliff who had the Lovely Dutchess, who was a lady
in waiting. Duchess in her own little way use to tell us of her day.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I know there are more and I could tell about each one of
them. I just need to think as it has been a while.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>And If I mispelled something I am sorry as I can not get
my spell check to work at tne moment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It is well are these people that we should be Thanking and
hold them high for this is the foundation of whick the Drool has made it to 3000
members. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Again if you write in private and attack an other memeber
you are being disresptful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Think be fore you hit that send button.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> Even though some of them maybe around my age, My
Mother would kill me if she knew I was being dis respct ful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Again if you write in private and attack an other memeber
you are being disresptful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Think be fore you hit that send
button.</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have written a few ugly notes myself, but once I get it
written I read it calm down and delite it. I then </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>feel better with in my self, but I also know I did not
attack that person and I was not disrepctful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Paddie would be so very sad that people who grew up knew
and Loved are being treated this way.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
