| Your S.H.S. Yearbook can help a person & some dogs... - Please Read! On Friday, May 22, 2009, the home of Larry Nelson & his father, Lester, was badly damaged by fire. Larry, Seguin High School class of 1979, was a collector of S.H.S. yearbooks. To help replace his cherished yearbook collection, Larry's friends have generously offered a bounty on S.H.S. yearbooks - for each new year brought to Thunderpaws, they will donate $10 to Paws in Prison! This is a huge opportunity to do something for a good man & for some needy dogs! To donate, please call us at (830) 379-7000 To see the full Gazette-Enterprise story, go to: Friday fire damages home, destroys memories UPDATE: Many of you generously donated your memories, and we are very grateful. We are STILL accepting yearbooks for Larry, as many years have yet to be accounted for. If you are willing to help, please call us! It will make you feel good! |
