[Gpdd] Announcement: I too welcome you back, Jim

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

Hi,

     I've often wondered how and what you were doing. I see that the list of 
piggies has reduced further in #. Aren't you glad you yielded to that impulse 
to get Olivia? You were always one of our best story tellers, and it's so good 
to have you back. Dawnda and Leah are both still around tho the infamous 
Brownie Bear and the sweet little Butterscotch are gone. Many of the old crowd are 
gone, including the last 2 of what started as "3 jolly rodents" and ended up 
a little herd of 5. I have 2 new ones -- one was gifted to me and I was quite 
uncertain but who can turn away a piggy? Then on April 15th (07) I lost 
Charlie. A few months later I was browsing (with no intention of getting another GP) 
Pet Finder and ran across this abuse case In Penn. involving little piggies 
known there as the PA 13. I fell in love with one of them in his photo. But 
from NW PA to SE Ohio??? Well it all came together within a week or two so now I 
have my little pirate crew. Since Captain Jack, the older one, did spend time 
with Jolly Rodent Charlie and was being groomed to be a Jolly Rodent, I've 
decided to keep that part of their name. Barnacle Bill is the younger one, born 
in June, Jack, the first of February.
     Our greatest loss, as you've mentioned, was the loss of Joe Petrillo. 
He'd left the digest some time before he himself left for the Bridge; he said it 
had just become to heart rending for him. But how much we all miss his 
presence.

Again, welcome back!
