Just heard the sad news about Shirley. She and John are special people. I last spoke to Shirley and John at the Clermont County shows this past summer and she looked so much better at that time than in the past two years. She will be a great loss to the fancy and to the many friends she had. Such a kind and very knowlegeable lady. I will miss her very much. She was the driving force behind the Ft. Wayne club and our Champion, JDM's Yankee Run of Tanglewood, goes back to her lines through Tara Airway's Demi, his dam. She now at peace and back with all her beloved dogs.
