Ted: Thanks for including the
link about local artist, Eric
Baker. He created 35 centerpieces for the Alzheimer's Gala on March
26, and one life-size tree that someone purchased for $16,000. We still have a
few of the centerpieces (the one you see in the story). They sell for $500. If
anyone would like to purchase one, they may contact me. We had another successful
Gala which is the major fundraiser for the year for the local chapter in Tulsa.

Dog -- Mr. Wright: My Aunt asked me to send this picture of a dog that showed
up at her house this morning (Sunday, March 22). It is a female that appears to
be some type of Corgi mix. Unsure if the dog has recently had puppies or is pregnant
right now. She is a very sweet, loving dog that someone must be missing. There
are no tags or collar. Contact info: Lee Ann @ 371-2045. -- Thank you- Jeannie
