#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Actually, unfortunitly, we lost contact in August...he just stopped responding to my emails, and I lost his new phone number...Im heartbroken...we were good friends...and I have sooo much to tell him about him about Dusty...he actually has an ad on the net for his TB mare, Barbies Double...if any one ever emails him about it, tell him sam and dusty say hi #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#maybe he just got too busy and forgot to respond to your e-mail or had some computer trouble for awhile.  Why not try again and see if you get a response?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
