I am feeling a need to say thank you to some very special people out there ? people who have gone out of their way this last week to try to help however they can with the Katrina efforts. I know I am going to forget someone and I apologize! There are just so many people who have put their lives on hold to do whatever they can for others! We may bicker, fight and disagree on this list, but when the call goes out for help, there is no greater group of people to answer! First, to Ardith! You are an amazing woman and I am proud to call you fruit and friend! To Renee -- Big hugs -- although I'm sure you have a phone growing out of your ear!! To Bill and Sukie -- awesome work, guys! And everyone else at the IFC, SOS, FACT, FAA, AFA -- everyone has busted butt this week!! (I'm serious!! People have been staying up way past thier bedtimes!!) You guys are all the greatest!! Special thanks to Deva and Risa and Reanne! Very, very special ladies!! Ann, Jackie, Chere, Anne, Stephanie, Deb, Angela!! Thank you all for what you're doing!! Tracy and Van, Laura, Tammy, Fran, Donna and Linda - Thank You so much!! You, too, Cindy, Darla, Jackie F, Nancy, Angie, Alison, Kate and Karen! And Nell, October and Elayne!! There are just so many people who have offered to help and like I said, I don't mean to leave anyone out -- we all appreciate your hard work and the effort you put forth in the name of ferrets! Thank you for 'doing' instead of just talking!! You guys are the best! Judy Cooke [Posted in FML issue 4992]
