<DIV>I got my Riptide shirt yesterday, and it is great looking. I have it
on today, almost fooled my wife that I have had it for a while, but it
didn't work. Also, Basset Buddies Basset Fest is noly 3 weeks away.
It is our biggest fundraiser, and they are using Ben to help the slaves
raise money. They are saying "Lets knock Ben down as the top fundraiser"
so he will have to work harder to raise money. It is open to all, so if
any of you within driving distance of Milwaukee, mark your calendars for August
23rd. If anybody wants more info, contact me at <A
href="mailto:ddropp@aol.com">ddropp@aol.com</A>. I would love to see some
of you. </DIV>
