Fw: IGNORE, IGNORE!

[gordon stelter]

Sorry, Kevin,
    I read the account of the attacks here myself, and
it was quite a problem as this pack of
student-abandoned dogs attacked several people before
capture.  I even went to a County Commission meeting
where it was fdiscussed.
     Now I remember that the hurricane Andrew account
came from a National Guardsman who visited our store,
and divulged this in a rather hushed tone. His CO gave
the order, as dogs from affluent areas had formed
packs and invaded the poorer sections where, many
people could not afford to evacuate. It was not
something the Guard thought good for P.R., so there
may not be any official account.
    Respectfully,
    Thump 


Now, back to pianos, please!
