| That's a real shame, I had just looked at some Phals on his website a few days ago. Janet that Phal. Millie's Pure Heart is amazing. I hope that his losses weren't extreme, that Phal. gigantea sounds amazing.

| I like Al's. I'm very sorry to hear about what happened to him. As the ad says, "Life comes at you fast" sometimes. Hope he is able to recover completely. Just checked out the Brennan site-- they have some very special phals there. Thanks for the url, Janet. |
