Generally a lurker, Mo' Bob's comments have dragged me from the woodwork. First I'd like to say that Bob's ideas about approaching the Ducks Unlimited to chance their policy on ferrets is a step I'll try. I raise and train hunting dogs, and I've sold and worked with dogs owned by members and officals of DU. My next step will be to go to a meeting and bring, not a dog, but ambassador ferret, and if you would Bob, e-mail me some pertinent data that I can make copies for hand outs. Thanks. Second, the part that made me smile, Tom Lehr? My personal favorites... "rover was killed by a Pontaic", and receiving a education surrounded by nuns "The Vatican Rag" Thanks Bob, I think I'll dig out the LP's and the turntable. Charlotte [Posted in FML issue 1757]
