Thank you for sharing that link, Linda. I have been out of town without
computer access (yes, there are still places on earth where that is
possible) or would have responded earlier.

Like many, I hoped and prayed that JoGayle would beat this horrible
diagnosis. She fought hard, and continued her research and work the
entire time. For those who want to remember her in a tangible way,
a memorial fund has been established. Donations may be made to the
SCBI/JoGayle Howard Cat Conservation Fund
c/o Strategic Development Office
Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute
National Zoological Park
1500 Remount Road
Front Royal, VA  22630

Additionally, for those who want to donate directly to black-footed
ferrets, there is a second option. For any donations to Prairie
Wildlife Research made in JoGayle's memory, I will match them up
to $500. Donations can be made to:
Prairie Wildlife Research
PO Box 308
Wellington, CO 80549
Online donations can be made through the website at

It's amazing how much can be accomplished if nobody cares who gets
the credit!
