I think that would be a wonderful "true" sequel to your original book; I have nothing to share on that subject but would love reading those stories. Put me down for a big "YES" - :-) Pat Lukos _www.saravagsd.com_ (http://www.saravagsd.com/) Weeping Willow 2nd Chance German Shepherd Sanctuary _http://weepingwillowgsdsanctuary.com/_ (http://weepingwillowgsdsanctuary.com/) In a message dated 12/28/2011 7:53:03 A.M.

Perhaps we should collect stories from everyone who had interaction with him to be included in a future book - what does everyone think of that idea? daphne From: VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx [mailto:VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 6:34 AM To: MissHereford@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] New Book and some history again In a message dated 12/27/2011 6:15:49 P.M.

Tasso of Villa Marina and owner of Ch. Flash of LaSalle and was inducted into the GSDCA Hall of Fame - Orlean portrays him as only being interested in the "One" dog, the first Rin Tin Tin. Longtime GSDCA member Bob Penny verified that fact to me in an interview I did with him at the 1999 National in Del Mar. It's interesting how history involves us,When I got my first two GSDs way back in the 50's,Jack Sinykin ,who owned and ran LaSalle Kennels,was a close source of knowledge and information for us in Minnesota. The first 4-5 people who helped me start our local GSD club always went out to his 20 acres( his home was on the property also) every weekend and sat and listened to all his history ,. He would bring out dog after dog ,and all his puppies . He was also a horse man,and would show off those also. . He'd talk about his Jewish history in Europe,and how he immigrated to the USA & started La Salle Kennels to train guide dog for the blind . We couldn't get enough of his knowledge,and pestered him every week-end I ended up one day bringing home a puppy - that I named Chief and turned out to be long-haired and a monorchid,That's when I started in obedience. And one Sat ,when we all went out there ,he had a guest visitor by the name of Lee Duncun.. It was a fun time and Lee asked if any of us knew Ann Mesdag. Apparently Ann helped him picking out certain dogs to train for Movies. . Of Course I had met Ann,because we'd had a Board meeting out there in Seattle and Ann and Theis had hosted the Board,and then I had also judged the National there,and stayed at Ann's Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
