Hi,
I've not been TT for a couple of weeks.  I just learned of the passing of Harry, Mary Holstad's beloved, and most famous cat.   bear_sad  Does any one have Mary's snail mail address.  I would like to send her a card.  I am sure she is bombarded with email and thought it would be more personal to send something the old fashioned way. 

Hugs,
Alison

Oh gosh . . . I'm so sorry about Harry!  I loved looking at her ebay offerings because they always showed a photo of Harry with the particular work of art she was selling.  Also, he looked a lot like my cat, Pixie.  I noticed the last two or so ebay sales of hers didn't have him in the photos, so I was afraid to think what might be the reason.  Don't have her snail address, but I wish her lots of comfort and peace.

Oh, what a shame!  Harry was wonderful in her listings.  Alison, do you have any of the old "who's who in teddy making" books that TB&Friends put out every year?  She might be in there, or if anyone knows the city where she lives, try searching the white pages on line?   Sorry I can't help more.

                                         hugs,

Oh how sad!  He has been a centerpiece of Mary's photos for as long as I've known about her art.

I just looked at Mary's current listing on ebay and there is a very handsome photo of Harry with "In Memory of Harry 1993 - 2009" under it.
