An announcement from Mike himself will be coming soon in the e-newsletter. 
It is hard to imagine the NFHR without Mike at the helm.  It should make us 
all rest easier to know that Mike has agreed to remain available in an 
advisory capacity for the foreseeable future to ensure that the Registry 
goes forward as usual, so we haven't seen the last of him by any means. 
Mike is also responsible for training Jeanne, the new Registrar, and is 
confident she will maintain his high level of service.


There will be a celebration for Mike at the Educational Forum to be held in 
Nashville, Tn next January, so make plans to attend.

Hello List

About three weeks ago, the owners I am currently working for were called by
a female saying she was the new Registrar of NFHR - it's been confirmed that
indeed you  apparently do have a new Registrar.

I would like to take this time to thank Mike May who in my opinion gave of
himself unconditionally, always acted in a professional manner and placed
the members concerns over his own.  THANK YOU Mike,  for all the years of
service and far exceeding your role as Registrar

And unless anyone can correct me a congratulations is in order to Mrs.
Jeanie Poirier, for taking the well worn reins from Mike's hands.

Jeanie is a major supporter of NFHR, and designs and maintains the NFHR
website. I first met her and her family at Blue Earth when their daughters
came as students of and with Beth Beymer (Editor of the Herald and NFHR
Evaluator), Jeanie had a great eye for the Fjords and their well being,
making note when horses were mistreated.  Jeanie's daughter, Samantha is a
sought after  trainer in the Fjord world, working now as a professional for
Howard Fiedler (President of the NFHR) and his wife, Sophie at Green Valley
Farm in Illinois.

I am saddened to see Mike go, but I am sure the new Registrar will provide
the membership of NFHR with the same skills she has shown through out her
life as a Mother, wife, coach and role model.

Have a good retirement, Mike - I wish you well and thank you.

Sincerely,
Pat Holland
