This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just to get us started, I will be the central collection point for Fjord pictures, text for the time being. If you want to send me pictures, and some text about the pictured Fjord (pedigree, date of birth, things you believe are true about the horse's conformation) I'll store them and forward them to anyone who asks for them. You can reply to me with comments.
E-mail is best if you can get the photos scanned. If not, send to me at 8605 Templeman Way Forestville CA 95436 If and when we get a web page organized, I'll forward everything there. In the meantime, who wants a picture of Gunthar, from his stallion days so people can be talking about him *soon.*? :) Coming soon to the list, e-mail on Gunthar's abalone diving trip. :) Gail At 04:09 PM 5/6/98 -0700, you wrote: >This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Hi Betsy, > >Saskia was going to put Gunthar's picture up on her site, but a full blown >conformation site might be a bit much for her server.
