Of course, I have the two paintings here next to me, just waiting for -
ME TO WIN THEM!! I do like to save the postage costs if I can, it's how
I help contribute more to the breed. Selfless of me I know, but it's the
thoughtful sort of Berner person I am!
Jean, thank you so much for the work in putting that website together, I
really did mean to just ask if it would be possible, and before you gave
me an answer, you had it half done! Thank you!!

And a big thanks to Karen Pickle for her hard work in keeping up with
Joye Neff! It's an enormous job with the Neff Fundraisers!! (Just a note
on that first painting, it's actually Father and Son, and it's based on
a photo that I took of Dottie's dogs. My blue backdrop never looked so
nice!)

Everyone (especially Willem) wanted to make this fundraiser a tribute to
Joye's Winston, but Joye was having none of it. She wanted this to be a
tribute to all of those companions that we've all lost over the years to
this disease. We're sick and tired of it, and happy to have a tangible
way to fight back. To all of you who have sent samples in to the UC
Davis tumor bank in years past, and to the UC Davis fresh tissue
collection more recently, and now to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center - THANK YOU!! I firmly believe that those Berners will all help
to create a better legacy for the future.
I think Joye was planning to announce this one, but Jean got the jump on
her - and that doesn't happen very often! It must be that new puppy Joye
is spending time with! Joye, I'm sure you'll find some volunteers to
help free you of those odious puppy obligations... I hear you've already
had several offers!
Pat Long,
in loving memory of Hannibal, 7/29/88 - 5/23/93,
Contributor to the tumor database,
In hopes of a brighter tomorrow!
