[Gpdd] [Peter Gurney]: Memorial Light - March 9th - Real, not virtual

[Audrey Binder]

Hi all,
  You are invited to participate in our third annual "Light for Peter Gurney" candle lighting memorial on Sunday, March 9, 2008.  As I promised to be the official "reminder person" for this event, I'll sent out a reminder each week, until March 9th.
   
  This is a "real" event, as everyone is invited to light a real candle at or around 8:00 pm, in your respective time zone, in rememberance of Peter Gurney, and all of the guinea pigs who are now with him, at the Rainbow Bridge.  Peter Gurney was a tireless advocate for guinea pigs, who passed away from cancer July 1, 2006, in Great Britain.  He wrote many of the books that are our best source of information, and he was probably the best guinea pig authority and advocate in the world.
   
  March 9th was his birthday, and many of us on the GPDD decided that it would be a fitting day to remember and honor him.  Basicallly, all you need to do is light a candle on March the 9th, in the evening, and the light in his honor will move around the world.
   
  The memorial can also honor all of the piggies who have passed away and are now with Peter Gurney.
   
  I never met Mr. Gurney, but many of us have his books, and use his website wherever we have a GP problem.  This will be our third annual candle-lighting in his honor, and at the end, I will post a listing of all the places where a candle was lit.  So, mark your calendars for March 9th, and I'll send out, at least, weekly reminders.
   
  Also, if anyone has ideas on how to expand our world-wide coverage of this event (guinea pig forums in other countries), please let me know.  The more, the better.
   
  Audrey, slave to Master Gordon
