Don't know if this has been on the list or not. Carl Foster of Leasburg, MO died after a lengthy illness on Monday. A memorial was held that afternoon. Carl was a GSD handler for many years. He was the husband of Fran Foster and the father of Julia Foster, who are both well-known handlers. It was a family thing. He will be missed by many of us. Fran's e-mail address is Fransfunyfarm@xxxxxxx or funyfarm@fidnet.com also on Facebook. Julia Foster is on Facebook. Thank you Marilee Wilkinson GSDC of ST.
