Captain G.A. Graham's Grave Appeal
Dear Fellow Readers,
Over the course of the last two years you may have read my appeal for funds to restore Captain Graham’s grave which appeared in Irish Wolfhound World volume V of 2008, with an update in volume VI earlier this year.
I am pleased to be able to report that thanks to the generosity of international businesses, breed clubs and Irish Wolfhound devotees sufficient funds have been raised to effect a full scale restoration of the grave, which is now under way; as well as to provide two commemorative plaques for the new Rednock School built on the site of Graham’s property of that name.
I would like to extend a personal invitation to all readers to attend the day of events scheduled for FRIDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2009 when the restored grave will be rededicated and the plaques unveiled. A programme of the day’s activities is attached; I draw to your attention the accompanying notes on the reverse.
If any readers are able to attend they would be most welcome in which case I would be grateful for confirmation at the earliest opportunity; I need to have an idea of numbers to finalize the catering requirements.
If anyone has any questions about the arrangements please do not hesitate to contact me.
I do hope some representatives of the European Irish Wolfhound community will be able to join the descendants of Captain Graham and fellow supporters of our breed for what promises to be a memorable and enjoyable day.
Yours sincerely,
Nick
Dr Nicholas A.J.Wilkes
