Hello
Members,
As our
feature writer, John Hayes said in his article.
The Show Must Go On.
I have to agree. The annual show is a large part of this organization.
It gives our members an opportunity
showcase and promote the horses they breed.
It also gives interested individuals an
opportunity to see what this family of horses has
to offer.
The
Shoemaker~Skipper W Bloodlines, Inc. would like to
thank Tom Filbin for his many years of dedicated
service to this organization.
He has traveled thousands of miles to
support our shows, no matter the location.
Tom spearheaded the effort to try and get
Skipper W into the AQHA Hall of Fame. He has also
been instrumental in taking care of the
advertisements in the Quarter Horse Journal.
Tom, we wish you the best of luck in his
new endeavor.
THANK
YOU TOM!!
Due to the resignation of Tom Filbin as Vice
President, John Finarty has been appointed to fill
the position until the end of September 2009.
Thank you, John for helping.
Ken
Durfee,
President

As
you may or may not know, last June (2007)
after much persuasion, I was enticed to
take on the management of a Nevada sheep
ranch at Yerington, Nevada. This
operation is very intensive, producing
America's highest selling wool and
purebred Merino sheep for many years.
To
make a long story brief, I regretfully
will be resigning as V.P. of
Shoemaker-Skipper W. Bloodlines, Inc.
Due to the time constraints required to
fulfill my duties here at Rafter 7 Ranch I
do not believe I can do justice to being
V.P. etc.
We
will continue raising "Skippers"
but must curtail some activities in
fairness to all involved. A sincere
THANKS to everyone that has assisted when
called on. And we will continue
"helping" when possible.
Best Regards, Tom Filbin
