It is with much sadness that we read tonight the letter from the President of the GSDCA, Lew Bunch informing us of Gail's illness. She has been and will remain in my prayers. We thank you Gail for all your years of dedication to a magazine that you love and it showed in all the fine work that you did. Your cheerful smile is left upon the pages of all the Reviews from all those years ago, from the times that you showed peoples dogs, the time that you used to write articles for the Review, to pictures of you with your beautiful dogs that you owned and to your picture on your editorial page. An icon they call you, and so you are..........one who is remembered through all the years, now and forever. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love you poured upon the pages of our favorite magazine and we also thank you for wanting to stay on to continue to help the magazine flourish once again. May I say a personal note to you dear Gail in a public forum........I thanked you all those years ago and I thank you once again tonight........thank you for finishing my Am Sel #3 BOM International Champion Chieftain's Kharu CD. Great handler, great editor, and to many a great friend. May God bless you and keep you safe.
