Great News, St. Croix pet population control is on its way... we are defiantly scheduled for the third week in October (20th to 26th). I have been in direct contact with Dr. Kellie Heckman, the coordinator for this mission in St. Croix and the executive Director of FiXit. This is a non-profit organization dedicated to controlling the overpopulation of companion animals. You can check out their website at Fixit-foundation.org. She has requested copies of several documents required for a temporary license in order for me to practice veterinary medicine in the Caribbean. I have put my "Cracker-Jack" manager and her team on this to make it happen (thank you Diana and Alli)! We are in the first stages of planning so I know there will be many more details to work out before going on this mission.

| Captain Brad ready for action! |
Brad and I have decided that we need to get going on the fund raising activities to get us down there and to allow us to bring extra supplies. I have set up an account at the hospital to keep track of any donations that are made to this nobel cause. Feel free to contact me at rknoppdvm@aol.com or call the hospital at 757-471-1003. Remember that "many hands makes the work light"… so do not hesitate to get involved!
Talked to Randy (my other "fly Buddy") and he does not think that he will be able to make the actual flight but that he will help out in any way he can. He is a high energy type of guy and he will be a real asset to making this happen. Sometimes the people behind the scenes are the real heroes that make a project happen. Its great to watch this work force come together for a great cause. Hope you will be a part of this.
Well, got to get ready for work and another cup of coffee. More to come, bye for now, Robin.
