My dear friend, Dawn Van Dyken (breeder/owner of GVx Dawnhill's Carli) is 
visiting in SoCal and just informed me that an old friend in Michigan, and very 
long-time member of the GSDCA, Eileen Van Wieren, passed away last Tuesday.  
Eileen was a breeder of unquestionable integrity.  She believed strongly in 
health testing and breeding for health and temperament.  She loved GSD's.  She 
also had the most wonderful sense of humor.  You may remember a few years ago 
at a National, Evan announced that an elderly lady was locked in a car in the 
parking lot and was holding a sign up in the window for HELP!   Dawn had left 
her sleeping in a rental car and Eileen couldn't figure out how to unlock the 
door when she awoke and needed to go potty!   We have laughed about that so 
much!  Eileen, too!   She was always shaking her head at us!   She will be 
sorely missed.  

Paula, 218 days and counting
