We live here in the Pacific Northwest and Syd was a member of The German Shepherd Dog Club of Washington State. It is true that her wishes were for donations to go to Last Hope Safe Haven or the German Shepherd Dog Club of Washington State in lieu of flowers but that does not mean that she could not or should not be honored in other ways as well. She was a wonderful person and a great lover of our breed, the German Shepherd Dog. She deserves to be honored in the Review. We intend to contribute to her memorial in the Review, Last Hope Safe Haven in her name and a little something that some of the GSDCWS club members are doing in her honor as well. None of that makes us evil! Thank you for doing this Ginger and I hope others will stop giving you grief for doing something nice for one of our own. Gail Gail J.

I am at a loss to come up with the appropriate subject title. I have many years of Review magazines and I was going through them. One of the first things I always look at in the Review is the memorial ads. I have contributed to several of them. I can tell you that MANY of those ads were for people or dogs that requested that donations be sent to some cause or charity in the person/dog's name in lieu of memorials to them. I remember the posts on the list for the ad donations, heck, I probably still have some of them (I tend to forget to clear my email history). in nearly every single one of those emails it was stated that any money over and above the cost of the ad would be donated to the cause or charity preferred by said person or dog owner. So I don't get the hostility I am getting. I will henceforth ignore it and delete those emails. If you want to help with a memorial ad for Syd, please do. If you do not, then DON'T, but please don't send me nasty emails. I will ignore them. I will take donations until 8/25/10 for the deadline of September 1st (for the Nov issue). If I get enough for the ad fine, I will send it to Susan. If I do not get enough then the money will be sent to LHSH. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Msg: #1 in digest From: "Ginger Cleary" <cleary1414@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:cleary1414@xxxxxxxxxxx>> Subject: Re: Syd Mailberg ad for the Review Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 11:11:40 -0400 What exactly is the animus regarding The Review? I am simply doing a memorial ad in The Review for someone very well known and loved in the GSD world. It is totally separate from the fund set up by LHSH. As I mentioned any fund rec'd above the amount for the ad will go to LHSH. I don't get it.

This, according to the post, will be a perpetual fund which will honor Syd's memory and extreme generosity for many years to come. LHSH had been supported by Syd most emphatically. I've already sent my funds to this great cause. I just felt it would be a better way than just the one time thingy in The Review. I have assisted in Review memorials in the past and will continue to do so when someone passes that I know.
