[Gpdd] [Peter Gurney] Reminder for Candle-Lighting on March 9th

[Audrey Binder]

Me again, here to remind you that you are invited to participate in the annual Peter Gurney Memorial Candle Lighting, on Tuesday, March 9th, at 8:00 pm, in your particular time zone.
 
All you need to do is light a candle in honor of Peter Gurney, who passed away in July 2006 in England.  He was a world-authority on guinea pigs and still remains one of our best sources of information through his books and web sites.  Our first candle lighting took place when we learned of his death and we have held a candle-lighting each year since on March 9th - his birthday, to remember him.  This is our fifth Memorial.
 
This year we are expanding the Memorial to include our dear GPDD friends who are no longer with us including Alge, Debbie, Kirstin, and Joseph Petrillo.
 
As candles are lit in our respective time zones, the light will move around the world.  This is our collective way to remember Mr. Gurney, our GPDD friends, and all of the piggies who are with them at the Rainbow Bridge.
 
After we do this, if you send me a post (either to the GPDD or to my email), I will compile a list of all the places were a candle was lit and post it on the GPDD.  
 
So mark you calendars and light a candle on March 9th at 8:00 pm.  More information on Peter Gurney can be found on the GPDD home page.
 
Audrey, William, and GP Gordon (remembering Reese)
