I am so profoundly sad and empty. Paralyzed and sick in my heart…I can't believe he is not here with me anymore. Although I once had a hound Rufus when I was a kid, my Maestro was my everything. We have lurked on this list among you droolers for 12+ years. We did not post, we did not do the drool calendar, but we listened all the time. We went to the Tri-Basset picnic (in Wantagh) a couple of times and Maestro even won first place in best singing. When I needed help with something, the people from this list were always there with an answer for me….the latest being understanding megaesophagus and how to manage it. Thank you Droolers for being a great cornerstone. </div><div>Lyle Cogen</div><div><a href="http://www.lylecogen.com">http://www.lylecogen.com</a></div><div><br></div></body></html>
