During each Ferret Symposium (R) we recognize several members of the ferret community that have gone above and beyond with their efforts. In St. Louis, we gave Special Achievement Awards to the following individuals. Hildy Langeweis, for Spearheading California's Rescue Efforts. Randy Belair, for Being an Inspiration to all Ferret Lovers. Jerry Murray, DVM, for Pioneering Melatonin Research. Our thanks and congratulations to Hildy, Randy and Dr. Murray for their wonderful contributions to ferret welfare. Julie Fossa (772)228-9067, temp.
