Good News - July/August 2001

"As to good news...how about this....I just got my FIRST RESIN! YEAH! She's a Rose Grey Black Horse Ranch Maid Marion and PAd as my real Arabian Mare SR Anzisinn Abu (By Abu Raferzon by Abu Who by *Naborr and out of Anzi Abasinn by Abu Raferzon). She's a really, really pretty horse and I am thriled with her! Thanks to Kathy Amick who gave me the opportunity to purchase her on time payments......she now lives with me!" -Marta Towne

"I have Good News! As of yesterday, when I recieved my diploma, I am really, truly a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I received my Bachelors in English." -Jeni Hoppenrath

"As long as all goes well in closing, I'll be purchasing my first home (a 2000 SF townhouse) on June 27th! It's in a great location in southeast Denver proper facing west into a good sized park -- I'll see the mountains out of my front windows! Its been a rental for years and rarely updated so it does need a lot of paint and elbow grease, but the potential to make the place really nice is amazing. Guess I know where my weekends are going the next few months! Wish me luck" -Beth Gustas

"A few hours ago, I became an aunt again! My sister Hillary Velazquez in Reno, NV & her hubby had their first baby, Gabriel Kevin. Mom & baby doing well!" -Heather Mays

"I'm getting the wonderful pleasure of adding a gorgeous glossy palomino H-R large "Zara" to my herd. She hasn't gotten a name or pedigree so far, since I don't even have her in hand yet, but suggestions are welcome." -Laurel Dedes

"I left metro Detroit and drove across the countryside to San Francisco! This was last October (2000) when the world was internet-mad, and after about a month or so my S.O. and I found a grossly overpriced apartment and beat out 15 other people! Crazy! This was all to take a job as assistant art director of Digital Fate magazine. (Wait-don't run out looking for a hard copy on the newstand, but look for back issues... it was a great reference for digital photography!) Our big bad corporation in the UK closed us down in February.

After a brief time being laid off (along with a LOAD of others) I was called upon for a job as associate art director of Mac Addict magazine! What a dream come true for a Mac-geek and a long time reader too! Now that things are settled down, I'm preparing the online s/d list for my Sunnybank/Olive Tree Stud babies and I'm going to experiment with my digital camera, sets (no backyard, but a sunny window!) and whatnot and enter some IPABRA shows, durn it! Once I get safe earthquake proof (ha ha!) quarters for my herd!" -Leslie Brown
