and agreed to help underwrite the six uni-
versity DVD project. The story could have
ended here, and we all would have been
satisfied with a project well done.
However, on a whim I contacted Marty
and told her the Foundation was looking
into supplying the remaining 21 veterinary
colleges with her alpaca handling DVDs. In
very short time Marty wrote back that she
would like to partner with the Foundation
on the project. Marty and the Foundation
have much in common; we both have the
belief that education translates to better
alpaca health care.
The rest of the story is perhaps the best.
Marty has agreed to donate a copy of her
book,
The Camelid Companion,
and the
two DVDs;
Alpaca Training and Handling
and Camelid Handling Medical Manage-
ment,
to each of the Small Ruminant Clubs
at the remaining veterinary schools. That’s
21 books and 42 DVDs in all. This is one of
the largest single personal gifts the Founda-
tion has ever received. On behalf of the
Mid America Foundation, alpaca owners
and veterinary students everywhere, thanks
Marty, for being a great partner.
