It is a work in progress, a labor of love and the best is yet to come - Never quite finished. Here I am in 2005, at 65, with 45 years working with my beautiful Samoyeds. It is often said that grandparents of a puppy are perhaps more important than its parents. Using this axiom, since all four of my grandparents made it into their high 80's and somewhat beyond so I expect to be around for a very long time... maybe we will get to know one another. Again Welcome to Donnereign and come back to visit from time to time. JD"</I></div> <bR> <div> We are planning both a tribute page on our website and a memorial ad in SQ for John.  If you have photos of Donnereign dogs or stories you'd like to share - or if you were particularly close to him and would like to participate in the memorial ad - please email me at vanderbilt@nexicom.net</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="198e796f0.jpg" border=0 width="121" height="111" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id210.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News 2006"><U><B>Back to News</B></U></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Courier New" ><B> </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFCC66" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B> </B></FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
