Churchill: Tribute to Isobel

From our Friends in Churchill:

Hi Simyra: Gerald and I just wanted to say thank-you for supporting our businesses this past year. We heard from Harry who undoubtedly took one of the best pictures we have ever seen of Isobel. We also saw his pictures posted on your website!

Attached below is a link: Isobel's retirement has just hit the news wires, we all need a good news story :)...believe it or not, the bears are still here! Apparently NBC will be featuring her story during Prime Time during the 2010 winter Olympics!

Blind Churchill sled dog
delivered hope, inspiration

Take Care!
