Olympic Torchbearer Fizan Jaffar

Olympic Torchbearer # 129, Fizan Jaffar, identified himself in a photo that we posted. As Fizan was unable to take pictures the day of his historic run, he welcomes any additional photographs that may exist. If anyone has pictures, or knows of anyone who may have pictures, taken along Munsee St. between J. L. Michener Public School and the Cayuga ball park, please contact us at lwalker@mountaincable.net and we will be pleased to put you in touch with Fizan.

Certified Service Dog ~ Gordon

Gordon wishes to say "Happy New Year" to everyone. Suitably dressed for our Canadian winter in his warm coat and red boots, Gordon visits the bookshop. A certified service dog, he enjoys his leisure time.

His original owner had expectations for Gordon on the racetrack, but greyhound racing was never Gordon's dream. (Second only to the cheetah, greyhounds are the fastest animal in the world.) Trampled on the track early in his non chosen career, Gordon became shy of the sport.

We join Gordon in wishing all of our friends a Happy New Year and all the best in 2010.
