[Gpdd] [Peter Gurney] Memorial Light-March 9th-Real, not Virtual!

[Audrey Binder]

Hi all,
You are invited to participate in our fourth annual "Light for Peter Gurney" candle lighting memorial on Monday, March 9th, 2009, at 8:00 pm.  As I promised to be the official "reminder person" for this event, I'll keep sending out reminders 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 we use, and he was probably the best guinea pig authority and advocate in the world.
 
March 9th was his birthday, and many of us who read the GPDD decided that it would be a fitting day to remember and honor him.  Basically, all you need to do is light a candle on March 9th, in the evening, and the light in his honor will move around the world.
 
The memorial is also for all of the piggies who have passed away and are now with Peter Gurney.  We know that he is looking after all of them.
 
This will be our fourth annual candle-lighting in his honor, and at the end, I will ask you where you lit your candle, and post a listing of all the places where the light went.  We will also post a world map, with illuminations of the lightings (new this year).  So, mark your calendars for March 9th!
 
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!
