<DIV>The basset world has lost a great supporter in Pat Dill. I had great
respect for her. Carol, please accept my deepest sympathy. I had
such great respect for Pat and for you for everything you have
done I know the last few years had to be tough because of Pat's
illness.</DIV>
<DIV> Please know, Carol, you are in my thoughts.</DIV>
