 It has been brought to my attention that the March issue of your magazine stated that I, Cindy Holland, was the Club Archivist.  Sir, you are barking up the wrong tree if you think that I will look after your old papers.   Make no bones about it.   I'll be dog-gone if I am expected to bury your old files.  Fur will fly when my solicitors, Dogsbody & Co take out a restraining order on your club.  Please scratch me from your list of office holders. It has been brought to my attention that the March issue of your magazine stated that I, Cindy Holland, was the Club Archivist.  Sir, you are barking up the wrong tree if you think that I will look after your old papers.   Make no bones about it.   I'll be dog-gone if I am expected to bury your old files.  Fur will fly when my solicitors, Dogsbody & Co take out a restraining order on your club.  Please scratch me from your list of office holders.
