In The Spotlight
Gail Lee Martin
Who is Gail Martin? Think you know her? Read on…you may be surprised to learn you really don’t.
The obvious answer is that Gail is Scott Lupo’s assistant web master on Our Echo…and at the youthful age of 84, no less. But that doesn’t even begin to describe a woman who has written biographies of family members, entered essay contests, submitted articles for newspapers, and who has such a prolific writing career that she puts some well-known authors to shame.

OLD BLUE written by Frederick William Wickert
“Oh, he’s all right,” the vet assured. “There isn’t anything wrong with that eye as far as vision goes. The pigment just didn’t distribute right. He can see out of it as good as the other eye. It won’t hurt him a bit.” He was a puppy from Spud and Ruby, our other two Beagles. Because of the all blue eye, we named him Blue. The trio lived together with their leader, a small female English setter, named Rugy.
I constructed a 50 by 200 foot fence, complete with plenty of shade to keep them in, and a dog house inside a building which they could enter and depart whenever they chose. They refused to stay in it, constantly digging out under the fence.

Regarding the polar bears, you might be interested to know that I heard a new report on the radio this afternoon. It said that the overall population of polar bears is up. It went on to say there are 15 groups of polar bears and the population has increased in 13 out of the 15 groups. Fred
