I am sad to announce that Judy Cooke has retired from the board of directors of the International Ferret Congress. Judy was the key force in the formation of the IFC; without her vision and determination, it would never have existed. This email is difficult for me to write formally, so I'll make it personal. It's hard to imagine how we will survive and thrive without her. But I know we will. I know she will always be there with her friendship and level-headed advice, but I will miss working with her on a day-to-day basis. Judy is a good friend to me, and has been a tremendous advocate for ferrets. Thank you Judy. Linda Iroff International Ferret Congress http://www.ferretcongress.org [Posted in FML 5413]
