Thanks for letting us know Ileana. This is such sad news. Wynn was my inspiration when I got my first Shepherd in 1974. Over the years, like so many of us, I used her books over and over until they are all pretty well worn. Expert Obedience Training was my first training book and always the one I felt was the very best. Her "German Shepherd Today" written with Jimmy was my Bible when I started showing in conformation. I am really bummed. Her knowledge and love of the breed was a great treasure to us. I do not typically contribute to memorials, but this is one that I will definaely want to participate in.

She is survived by her daughter Susan and her son Ron. and her long time assistant and companion, Georgia. Our most deepest condolences to them. Our club, the Diamond State German Shepherd Dog Club, in Delaware, was one of her treasured creations, and she was active in it until that dreadful car accident last year. We were just celebrating her at our board meeting last Sunday, and it seems so surreal that she is not here anymore. I will forward more details (memorial, etc) as we get them.
