Correction on Mathis price for training leaders: $150 is the tab, and address is 111 M-40 North, Decatur, Mich. For those who asked.

Incidentally, Gloria Mathis says,” By the way…we live in the village limits, 4 blocks from downtown, in a town of 1900 on a lot 94 X 380 feet which includes room for our house and a three car garage…We have no sympathy for people who say they can’t even one dog because they live in town!”
