Neat - both the same age, she lived in England in 8th grade we became pen pals We have seen each other only twice in all these years, over 60! She moved here and she and her dear MAN visited me in 1957 to see my first baby. Her man, retired now, a wonderful fireman -- then my brother, as he was dying of cancer, drove from Phila. in 1976 to visit. I'll do my best to get a passport as my son feels I really need to get out and about at times. Ha! Indeed, a couple years ago, through THIS LIST she and her sister in AUSTRALIA helped on of the members in Peurto Rico to arrange to get a GSD from there to the wonderful country down under -- I LOVE Australia and, if you want --- one of these days, I will SHARE WITH YOU my most interesting stories of what I did for a bit -- Our wonderful Ellen --- oh how I miss her and so many of our folks --- forgive me for rambling on like I did in my post yesterday---- I've always been a "breeder" == hey dwarf kangaroos! Ok, I'll go watch the DALLAS COWBOYS GO ROMO AND THE BUFFALO BILLS --- LOVE THEM TOO --- beautiful country!!
